Yuhao Deng
Postdoc research fellow, Biostatistics.
Department of Biostatistics, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
Background
I earned my bachelor’s and doctoral degrees from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University. However, I have a wide range of interests. I have a double bachelor’s degree in economics from the National School of Development, Peking University, and completed a master’s program (non-academic education) in human rights from the Law School, Peking University. I was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan. I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.
Statisticians seek to identify patterns in complex social activities and derive knowledge from randomness in a rigorous way. As a methodological researcher, I aim to connect statistical theories to practical applications, thereby advancing scientific development.
Research interests
Causal inference (randomized controlled trials, observational studies, mediation, intercurrent events);
Survival analysis (multi-state models, interval censoring);
Semiparametric modeling (asymptotics, efficiency, double robustness);
Econometrics (quasi-experiments, difference-in-differences).
Latest
- I will chair a session, “Learning from Science for Synthesized Knowledge: Integrative Analysis and Meta-Analysis,” at the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in Boston (August 1-6, 2026).
