About me
Hi! I am Yuxin Zhu (pronounces [ü shin joo], writes 祝雨馨), aka Daisy among my friends and colleagues. I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics and Department of Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University. I also have collaboration with the BIOCARD project and the Armstrong Institute Center for Diagnostic Excellence.
My research focuses on developing statistical methods for biomarkers and electronic medical records. I work on methods that combine biomarkers to predict cognitive decline related to preclinical Alzheimer's Disease (AD) among normal individuals. I also develop methods to evaluate misdiagnosis-related harm at institution or medical system levels using electronic medical records. Methodologically, I work on tree-based models, latent variable models, survival analysis, and recurrent event analysis. My general interest is in interpretable and robust statistical methodology that advances biomedical understanding and informs practices.
Outside my passion for statistics and research, I enjoy journaling, music, and hiking with my dog.
