Biography
I earned my Ph.D. in applied mathematics in 2005 from City University of Hong Kong with a resarch focus on machine learning theory and received postdoctoral training in machine learning and statistics at Duke University from 2005 to 2008. I attained the Associateship designation from the Society of Actuaries in 2014.
I joined Middle Tennessee State University in 2011 and was promoted to full professor in 2020. I am the director of the Data Science Master of Science and Graduate Certificate programs and a faulty member of the Computational and Data Science Ph.D. program.
