Zhiling Gu
I am a Ph.D. student in Statistics at Iowa State University, where I have been supervised by Professor Lily Wang and Professor Dan Nettleton. Before joining ISU, I completed M.Phil. in Risk Management Science advised by Professor Hoi-Ying Wong at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
I am interested in non-/semi-parametric regression methods, epidemic modeling, image and Spatio-temporal data analysis, high dimensional data analysis, and conformal inference.
