About me

Hi there, I'm Zhihao Lei 👋

I am an MPS student in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Cornell University. I received my BSc (Hons) with First Class Honours in Mathematics and Statistics in 2025 from the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

Previously, I was a visiting scholar in the Department of Biostatistics at Brown University, where I worked with Prof. Roee Gutman on Bayesian methods for causal inference and health data integration, particularly in the context of multi-treatment comparison and end-of-life healthcare analytics.

My research interests include:

  • Biostatistical methods for public health and cancer research
  • Statistical modeling in oncology and population health
  • Analysis of large-scale clinical and epidemiological data
  • Statistical learning for biomedical and health applications
