I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Washington, where I am advised by Dr. Gary Chan. My graduate studies are supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
My research interests are in developing statistical methods for health policy and medical decision making, drawing on ideas from decision theory, machine learning, and semiparametric theory. I also work with Dr. Pamela Shaw and the Shaw Lab at Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute on survey sampling methods for measurement error correction in observational studies.
Outside of research, I enjoy playing soccer, exploring the Pacific Northwest, and passionately supporting Boston sports. I am always happy to chat about these things, statistics, graduate school, or anything in between. Feel free to reach out by email at jbyang@uw.edu or on Twitter/Bluesky @jyang29!
