Hang Zhou

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Davis, working with Professors Hans-Georg Müller and Jane-Ling Wang. I got my Ph.D. in Statistics from Peking University in 2022, under the supervision of Professor Fang Yao.

I will start as an Assistant Professor in STOR and SDSS at UNC-Chapel Hill, from Jan 2026.

My current research interests includes:

Theory and methodology for:

  • Statistical modeling and inference for object data, including but not limited to distributions, trees, and compositional data
  • Functional data with complex structure, including discretely observed and non-Euclidean data
  • Learning theory, generalization bound for deep neural network
  • Model agnostic method and its applications in real-world dataset, e.g., anomalies detection
  • Dynamical systems and its applications in information retrieval

Application areas:

  • Longitudinal/Compositional data in biological and medical sciences
  • Brain image data (MRI, fMRI)
