QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY

• High level of proficiency with SAS programming.

• Extensive experience in construction and manipulation and data analysis of large-scale and

complex datasets.

• Knowledge of clinical trials process.

• Strong analytical and problem solving skills.

• High ability to learn and apply new technologies quickly.

• Highly self-motivated, extremely detail-oriented, and highly productive with minimum

supervision.

• Excellent team player with good communication and interpersonal skills.

COMPUTER SKILLS

• SAS, SQL, Java, C, UNIX, Relational Database System, SigmaPlot, MS Excel, MS Word,

MS PowerPoint.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

SAS Programmer, American Institute for Research 2008 – present

• Use SAS procedures, such as PROC Sort, Freq, Means, Corr, Sql, Summary, Transpose,

Tabulate, Report, and Print, to generate aggregate data sets and reports of large scale and

complex datasets.

• Extensively use SAS Macro Facility to create codes for reusable programs, and perform

program documentation on all programs, files and variables for accurate historical record.

• Be responsible for data cleaning, cross-checking the records to secure data quality.

• Transform data in various formats (Excel, CSV, ASCII) into SAS datasets, and vise-versa.

• Merge data from different sources into a single integrated dataset.

• Help statisticians to define programming specs and, on the basis, write multiple statistical

programs for data analysis.

Sr. Research Investigator, University of Pennsylvania 2004 -- 2008

• Screened new potential anti-epilepsy drugs that act on ion channels. Checked data quality

(outliers and missing data), conducted data analysis with SAS, used ANOVA, Fisher Exact

and Student T-test to check whether the effects of the drugs on cells/animals are significant

between groups.

• Helped developing a custom 50K vascular disease SNP array which aims to

comprehensively assess the genetic diversity within pathways (approximately 2150 genes)

1

underpinning primary and secondary vascular disease processes such as blood pressure,

insulin resistance.

• Conducted genomic data mining to study the evolution of a pivotal binding motif of ion

channels and its importance in determining brain function.

Postdoctoral Researcher, Stony Brook University 2001 -- 2003

• Performed genomics data mining, regression and correlation analysis on real-time PCR

data with SAS to study the expression and regulation of rennin-angiotensin system

members in heart.

• Worked as a consultant to clean a large data and convert it into a SAS data set for further

statistical analysis.

• Finished several projects on parsing programs by using ML, a functional programming

language, and XSB, a Logic Programming and Deductive Database system for Unix and

Windows.

• Profiled and analyzed the running of Jmol, a molecule viewer/editor, to improve the

performance.

Research Assistant, Stony Brook University 1999 -- 2001

• Involved in converting raw data from Phase I Clinical trial to SAS data set and in doing

statistical analysis.

• Performed statistical analysis to investigate gene expression profile using SAS.

• Designed and implemented an object-relational database system to support the operation of

a student registration system on campus. Implemented transaction procedures, measured

the transaction performance using TPPT (Transaction Processing Performance Tool) and

analyzed the performance measurement results.

• Carried out several projects on network programming with TCP/UDP, IP protocol and

remote procedures. C was used in Unix environment.

• Designed and implemented several modules with Java using the OSP/2 system, a simulated

environment for operating system design. CVS (Concurrent Version Control System) was

used.
