Biography
Xueting (Leona) Wang is currently a PhD student in the Biological & Biomedical Sciences program, track of Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics.
After completing her M.D. degree at Shanghai Jiaotong University, she discovered her passion for biomedical data science. She further honed her skills in biostatistics during her master's study at Yale School of Public Health. Throughout her master's study, she collaborated with biostatisticians and clinicians to analyze electronic health records (EHR) and design clinical trials.
As she embarks on her Ph.D. studies, she wishes to continue her focus on methodology and analysis research on EHR. When not studying, she is a big fan of painting and hanging out with friends.
