TEACHING
- Regular Course Teaching Fellow
- BIOST 2094 Advanced R Computing, University of Pittsburgh, Spring 2024 & Spring 2023
- An R programming course in advanced graduate level, taught by two PhD students under Dr. George Tseng's supervision
- Respectively 16 and 15 graduate students enrolled in Spring 2023 and Spring 2024 semester
- Lectured half of the classes, supervised and graded final projects
- Short Course Teaching Instructor
- ASA-SSGG Short Course Series: Selective Introduction to Multi-Omics Analysis, April 2023
- One of the four instructors to teach the annual online short course hosted by ASA Section on Statistics in Genomics and Genetics (125 paid students and overall course rate of 4-5 on a scale 1-5 based on Google feedback survey)
- Deliverd one of the four zoom sessions (45 minutes of lecture and 45 minutes of lab session): Overview of multi-omics data analysis and horizontal data integration. Answered questions from the audience in all zoom sessions
- Prepared for course materials covering statistical and bioinformatic methods for multi-omics data analysis with focus on horizontal meta-analysis, disease subtyping clustering, dimension reduction, causal mediation and single cell multi-omics
- Availability of all slides and data/code on GitHub
- Course Capable of Teaching
- Advanced Statistics Courses: Statistical Computing (optimization theory and R/Python implementation); Bayesian Analysis; Statistical Learning and Machine Learning; Deep Learning
- Bioinformatics Courses: Omics Data Analysis; Computational Genomics; Sequencing Technologies and Analysis
- Flexible and confident in teaching standard statistics and biostatics courses when the department needs
