Introduction

About Me

I am a Research Assistant at the PLA General Hospital First Medical Center, dedicated to advancing population health research and aging studies.

My academic journey spans from Peking University's biomedical engineering program to Lehigh University's master's and doctoral studies in statistics and applied mathematics. This interdisciplinary background enables me to approach complex health research questions with rigorous quantitative methods.

Currently, my research focuses on aging marker criteria in human populations, published in Frontiers in Public Health. I have contributed to multiple high-impact studies on kidney injury, heavy metal exposure, and renal function, combining epidemiological research with advanced statistical analysis.
