Personal profile
Dr. Yueyun Zhu is a statistician whose research focuses on the development and application of statistical methods for complex and dynamic data, particularly in biomedical and clinical research. She received her PhD degree in Statistics from the University of Manchester, UK in 2023. Before joining XJTLU, she worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Biostatistics at the University of Galway, Ireland.
Her research primarily focuses on Functional Data Analysis, Time Series Analysis and Longitudinal Data Analysis. She is particularly interested in developing efficient statistical methods for analysing data observed in the form of curves and trajectories. In addition, she has extensive experience in applying statistical methods to biomedical research, with collaborative projects in cardiovascular disease, intensive care, and gestational diabetes.
