Profile

Biography

Na You is a Senior Lecturer in Statistics at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Essex. Prior to joining the University of Essex in 2023, Dr. You was a Professor of Statistics at Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou) where she started as an Associate and worked for 12 years since 2011. Before that, she obtained her PhD degree from Peking University in 2005, and had a 5-year postdoc training at University of California, Riverside, USA. Dr. You is interested in the methodology research in Biostatistics and its applications in medical research, especially for (ultra-)high dimensional data analysis. Her research topics cover multiple testing, variable selection, mixture model and non-parametric statistics, for the identification of genomic biomarkers from (ultra-)high dimensional data, and the prediction of patient's prognosis. Recently, she focus on nonparametric testing, regression with non-Euclidean predictors, and their applications for treatment effect evaluation and image data analysis.
