SMARTIES start new jobs
Congratulations to members of the SMART STATS working group Haochang Shou and Bruce Swihart who have started new jobs! Haochang has been working on structural principal component decompositions, soft null hypotheses, and shrinkage estimation in ultra high dimensional data. Her work is inspired by problems in brain imaging (dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and functional resting state MRI) and activity monitoring (using accelerometer data and phone-app questionnaires). Haochang will join the Department of Biostatistics & Epidemiology at UPenn as Assistant Professor of Biostatistics, where she will continue to work with Taki Shinohara and the Pennsive research group. Bruce has been working on complex multistage survival models, copula decompositions, functional data analysis, and machine learning. His work is inspired by problems in sleep research, infection diseases, and prediction of in-hospital admissions. Bruce will join the Biostatistics Research Branch at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, where he will work with colleagues on exciting new problems. We are very proud of Haochang and Bruce and look forward to their future accomplishments.
