Personal profile

Dr. Lin is Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematical Sciences and Center for Statistical Science at Peking University. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Southern California in 2011. His research interests include high-dimensional statistics, machine learning, causal inference, compositional data analysis, survival analysis, and statistical genetics and genomics. He has published in leading statistics and biostatistics journals such as Journal of the American Statistical Association, Biometrika, and Biometrics, and has received grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the National Key R&D Program of China.
