Project Experience

Research Assistant

University of California, Riverside

Sep 2007 - Present

> Led the projects concerning the biosolids safety management. Performed

the mixed model and GEE for the longitudinal data using SAS to provide

the microorganism management solutions for various biosolids

treatment.

> Designed the Cox proportional hazards model and Frailty model for

clinic survival analysis to select the important factors to decide the

Hospice Referral Strategy, implemented with SAS and R.

> Developed non-homogeneous Markovian and ordinal logistic and random

effect model for US colleges' athletic ranking data to predict the

effects of the covariates using SAS and R. It is used for the UCR

athletic social studying.

> Designed plant parasite time-series experiment to minimize the

generalized variance of the parameter estimators, implemented with

Design Expert.

> Performed data collection as well as SAS programming(drop/keep

variables, sort, merge, concatenate/join files, created tables,

constraints, indexes, views, sequences, triggers, stored procedures;

tuned SQL statements.

> Performed data checks and validation tests to determine data quality,

maintain and track data sets, assure data security, review data for

completeness and appropriateness.

> Designed and implemented statistical reporting process for data

collection. Analyze used Dynamic Data Exchange(DDE) feature for

importing and exporting of data from and into SAS, Excel and Access.

Research Assistant

University of California, Riverside (Dept of Plant Sciences)

Sep 2005 - Sep 2007

> Developed Models for statistical phylogenentics using molecular

sequences by the methods of parsimony, maximum likelihood or Bayesian.

> Designed the tools to retrieve the major TE families by using genome

shotgun sequences, implemented by Perl.
