About

Jiehuan Sun’s primary research interests are to develop novel statistical methods to extract meaningful insights from large-scale, complex biomedical data, particularly electronic health records and genomics data. His work aims to accelerate the translation of discoveries from bench to bedside, supporting advances in personalized medicine and individualized healthcare. His methodological development centers on longitudinal data analysis, survival data analysis, high-dimensional data analysis, and  joint modeling with applications spanning risk prediction, phenotyping, network inference, biomarker discovery, and clustering. He also actively collaborates with biomedical researchers across a broad range of disease areas.
