About

My research focuses on statistical genetics, developing new methods grounded in the theories of quantitative genetics. I design models to analyze multiple correlated human traits using electronic health record (EHR) data, aiming to improve our understanding of complex diseases.

My current work centers on multi-trait modeling for disease risk prediction, redefining traditional case–control frameworks through the lens of pleiotropy—the shared genetic correlation between traits. I also study statistical inference under structured missingness in EHR data and investigate the locus-level genetic architecture underlying trait correlations.
