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.
