Dissertation Title: Data Science Methods for Analyzing Nanomaterial Images and Videos, Advisor: Dr. Yu Ding

Research Interests

My primary research interests include quality statistics, statistical learning, and signal/image processing with the applications on high-dimension and dynamic data. My current research focuses on developing analyzing and control methods for nano images and videos captured by electron microscopes, which will expedite the work in both nanoscience and nanomanufacturing.
