Shuangjie Zhang | University of Texas at Austin

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 research associate 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 and my B.S. in Statistics from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics.

My research develops Bayesian 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.
