About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Associate at Professor Hongyu Zhao’s lab, Department of Biostatistics, Yale University since September, 2022. I earned my Ph.D. in Statistics under the advisory of Professor Ming-Hui Chen at the University of Connecticut in 2022. Previously, I received B.S. and M.S. in Applied Statistics at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
