Looking for one graduate student with a strong background in statistical machine learning at University of Maryland, CP to work with me on using ensemble learning to predict kidney function outcomes from renal histopathology data. Email [email protected] if interested!

Tomorrow is my dog's 6th birthday. I've had him four of those six years, and every day Max is still the cutest dog I've ever seen. I am also getting his teeth cleaned, which will cost me a lot of money, but he's worth it. And he loves you too.

This past Friday we welcomed our 2025/2026 students (including 4 new PhD and 13 new ScM students) to @jhubiostat.bsky.social! www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

University of Maryland Institute for Health Computing (UM-IHC) researchers participated in the Invent the Future Expo, organized by the KID Museum in Bethesda, Maryland, on June 1. UM-IHC researchers who helped run the exhibit were Sujal Bista, Sida Li and Olivia Mercurio. #MPowerMD #XR

Although I'm moving to GMU at end of July, I'm still so excited to be leading a 6-week summer REU at UofSC starting this Monday! I'll be working on spatial causal inference models for disease mapping with a small team of undergrad researchers. Excited to see what we can accomplish. :)

The Class of 2025 celebrated its achievements with family and friends at school ceremonies. Check out our graduation homepage for photos, videos, stories, and more. #UMBgrad

May your Mondays' brighten as a rose and make you smile.♥️🌺 #hybrid #rose #smile #petals

The School of Graduate Studies honored its newest cohort of doctoral scholars during the Doctoral Hooding Ceremony on May 21 celebrating more than 80 graduates. #UMBgrad

🚨New paper alert🚨 from the zeelab.org. @dbei-upenn.bsky.social PhD biostats candidate Shalini Ramachandra found high variability in creatinine generation among GN pts over time, yet we usually assume it's stable to calculate sCr-based eGFR 😩. Check it out 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

✨Some news!✨ I have decided to accept a new faculty position at George Mason University, starting this August! I'm looking forward to moving to the Washington D.C. area and continuing my research at GMU. I greatly valued my time as faculty in @uofscstatistics.bsky.social! Forever to thee!

This is a really great grasshopper I found in Amazonas in Brazil. iNat experts are suggesting something in the genus Eurostacris, but I'm clueless and that doesn't seem to be a common genus of insect. #bugsky #invertefest #nature

Hey I know these people! Check out this paper👇

We are thrilled that both the School and our Department have been ranked #1 in the U.S. News and World Report rankings for 2025.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

🎉🎉CONGRATULATIONS to zeelab.org member and @dbei-upenn.bsky.social student Dr. Jeremy Rubin (@super-jrub.bsky.social) who just successfully defended his biostatistics PhD dissertation on "Statistical Methods for Variable Selection and Prediction with Pathomic Features"

Excited to attend @super-jrub.bsky.social's doctoral defense today! I am confident he will defeat the snake!

PhD alum Bingkai Wang is a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Hear about Bingkai's current position, his time in our Department and his experience navigating the job market after graduation, on our website: publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/alumni-...

Really enjoying supervising a student on her Senior Honors Thesis. We came up with a novel approach for estimating maternal mortality rates in SC counties with suppressed data. She learned all about Bayesian hierarhical models, CAR models, and model-fitting in Stan! We will try to publish this work.

🚨New Paper Alert🚨from the zeelab.org, Jonathan Hogan, @kirylukk.bsky.social, and Laurence Beck @BMC that used PRE-BIOPSY samples from a cohort of proteinuric patients to evaluate MN dx using different cutoffs and combinations of ELISA and IIF, with and without genetics. Check it out! 👇

A lettuce farm was busted by the FDA on suspicion of combining plant and human DNA to create a new protein hybrid. When they dug up the grounds they found human romaines.

Hot take: The bigger a company is, the closer they become to feeling like a school

Dropping my defense announcement for April 3rd at 1pm like it's hopefully...hot! Feel free to pop in, Zoom link available here: pennmedicine.zoom.us/j/9879863408...

🚨New Paper Alert🚨 by zeelab.org member @super-jrub.bsky.social! CLUstering Structured laSSO (CLUSSO) is a new statistical method for using pathomics data to predict outcomes, motivated by kidney biopsy images which have differing numbers of glomeruli, tubules, etc, resulting in unbalanced data.

Badminton pals unite!

This really should be Dr. Peeper

Who hurt you

A hot pot feast

I want the confidence to put eschew in my formal writing and mean it

Whipped coffee latte? Yes I will, thank you very much

Congrats to the 2025 MPower Professors from @univofmaryland.bsky.social & @umbaltimore.bsky.social! Shoutout to Dr. Shuo Chen & Dr. Julie Dunning Hotopp for their outstanding collaborative research! 👏🎉 🌟 More on how they are making a significant impact: bit.ly/4hRivCh #MedEd #MedSky #Science

Happy to report that I have a prefect streak of rejections for student paper competitions to round out my PhD experience. I will just interpret it as my stuff is too nuanced for the lay reviewer to appreciate.

Hear @stephaniehicks.bsky.social talk about her research interests and where she sees her field of study headed, via our Faculty Spotlight video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd54...
