“My RPg life at HKU is substantial and meaningful. The Faculty provides ample support and seminar opportunities which are close to the frontier of my field. I can learn a lot of fundamental knowledge regarding my research from professors. My supervisor Professor Wang Yao gives me much useful advice on the direction and regarding the details of my research.” |
Huaqing JIN Fellow of Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme and HKU Presidential PhD Scholarship PhD student Research foci: Research foci: Biostatistics, focusing on analysing of the medical data and clinical trials Supervisor: Professor Guosheng YIN, Department of Statistics & Actuarial Science | |
“When I came to our Department as a freshman, I had no idea which area of research to focus on. Thanks to my supervisor, Professor Guosheng YIN, who introduced me to the beauty of Bayesian statistics, which provides many powerful tools to analyse the datasets in practice. There is an urgency to accelerate clinical trials while maintaining safety and efficacy for the development of new drugs and vaccine candidates during the pandemic. Under the guidance of Professor Yin, I am motivated to focus my research on medical data and clinical trials.” |
