Biography

Lingzhou Xue is a Professor of Statistics and Associate Director of the National Institute of Statistical Sciences. He is the Core Faculty of the Statistical Learning and Data Mining (SLDM) Lab and the Microbiome Data Science (MDS) Lab.

Xue received his Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Minnesota in 2012. He received his M.S. in Statistics from the University of Minnesota in 2011 and his B.S. in Statistics from Peking University in 2008.

His research interests include high-dimensional statistics, statistical machine learning, nonparametric statistics, optimization, and statistical applications in biomedical science, business analytics, and public health. His papers have been published in top-tier journals in statistics and data science, including The Annals of Statistics, Biometrics, Biometrika, eLife, INFORMS Journal on Optimization, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Journal of Machine Learning Research, Journal of Accounting & Economics, Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, Journal of Econometrics, Environmental Science & Technology, Monthly Weather Review, Nature Materials, Psychometrika, Proceedings of the IEEE, etc. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Health Effects Institute (HEI).

Currently, he serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Statistical Association, Stat, ACM Transactions on Probabilistic Machine Learning, and Data Science in Science.
