Shuangjie Zhang

Welcome! I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin, where I work with Dr. Yang Ni.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Texas A&M University with Dr. Yang Ni. I received my Ph.D. in Statistical Science from the University of California Santa Cruz in 2024, advised by Dr. Juhee Lee. I earned my M.S. in Statistical Science from Duke University, advised by Dr. Surya T. Tokdar, and my B.S. in Statistics from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics.

My research develops statistical methods for high-dimensional and dependent data, with an emphasis on probabilistic generative modeling of feature interactions and structure learning in complex systems. I am particularly interested in factor models, graphical models, longitudinal modeling, and density regression, and I develop these methods to address scientific questions in biomedical and biological applications.
