概述
我在纽约大学全球公共卫生学院担任生物统计学教授,同时也是数据科学中心的附属教员。我的研究聚焦于机器学习、高维统计、网络模型与非参数方法的理论与方法基础,并广泛应用于阿尔茨海默病预后、癌症亚型分类、基因组学、电子健康记录与生物医学影像等领域。
我领导 Feng Lab,致力于通过严谨的研究与有影响力的应用,推动统计学习、数据科学与人工智能的发展。如需简短的会议风格简介,请参阅简介页面。

代表性工作
Semiparametric Modeling and Analysis for Longitudinal Network Data
A semiparametric framework for networks observed over time that lets connection patterns evolve smoothly rather than forcing every edge to follow a fixed parametric law.
AoS · 2025Neyman-Pearson Multi-Class Classification via Cost-Sensitive Learning
Extends the Neyman-Pearson paradigm — controlling the specific error you care about most — from binary to many classes, by recasting it as a cost-sensitive learning problem with guarantees on the user-specified error budget.
JASA · 2024Transfer Learning under High-Dimensional Generalized Linear Models
Borrow strength from related high-dimensional generalized linear models to estimate a target model with provably minimax-optimal rates, together with a data-driven test that filters out source datasets that would actually hurt.
JASA · 2023PCABM: Pairwise Covariates-Adjusted Block Model for Community Detection
A community-detection model that accounts for node-pair covariates partly explaining who connects to whom, blending block structure with regression-style adjustment for the part of connectivity the covariates already explain.
JASA · 2023Testing Community Structure for Hypergraphs
A likelihood-ratio test for whether a hypergraph contains more than one community, with sharp boundaries on when communities are statistically detectable that improve over methods designed only for ordinary graphs.
AoS · 2022RaSE: Random Subspace Ensemble Classification
A flexible high-dimensional classification framework that aggregates many randomly sampled low-dimensional subspace classifiers, with consistency theory and a CRAN package.
JMLR · 2021Neyman-Pearson Classification Algorithms and NP Receiver Operating Characteristics
A practical algorithm that controls the Type-I error of any classifier with prescribed high probability, plus an NP-ROC curve for comparing classifiers under asymmetric error costs.
Sci. Adv. · 2018Model Selection for High-Dimensional Quadratic Regression via Regularization
A regularized model-selection method for high-dimensional regression with interaction terms that respects the strong-heredity principle: an interaction is only chosen when both its main effects are also present. A weak-heredity version is also proposed that only requires one of the main effects to be present.
JASA · 2018Nonparametric Independence Screening in Sparse Ultra-High-Dimensional Additive Models
Extends sure-independence screening to additive nonparametric models, drastically reducing ultra-high-dimensional feature pools while retaining all the truly relevant variables with high probability.
JASA · 2011Network Exploration via the Adaptive LASSO and SCAD Penalties
Estimate the structure of a sparse Gaussian graphical model — the network of conditional dependencies among many variables — using adaptive LASSO and SCAD penalties, with oracle-property guarantees on variable selection.
