I received a BS and MS in Mathematics from top universities in China in 1983 and 1985 and received a Ph. D. in Mathematics with a concentration in Statistics in 1994 from University of Connecticut. Since then, I joined William Paterson University as assistant professor and being promoted to Full professor in 2004. In WPU, I have taken part in services in various capacities, including the department chair from 2016-2022 and I served as statistical consultant for many years helped with over 100 research projects. I have presented my research work as a keynote speaker in Mathematical Association of America (1997), and delivered one hour seminar talks in many universities including Columbia University (1996). served as a referee for more than ten professional journals including the prestigious "Annals of Statistics".
