Associate Professor of Biostatistics

Professional overview

Wen Zhou is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the School of Global Public Health. He received his Ph.D.s in Statistics and Applied Mathematics from the Iowa State University. His research focuses on developing theories and methods for network data analysis, high-dimensional statistics, multiple testing problems, machine learning, and causal inference. He is particularly interested in applications within genomics, genetics, bioinformatics, protein structure modeling, social science, epidemiology, and health policy. Wen serves on the editorial boards of the Statistica Sinica, Journal of Multivariate Analysis, Biometrics, as well as serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics. He is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute and has been elected as the WNAR program coordinator in 2024.

Before joining NYU, he was an Associate Professor in Statistics at Colorado State University and held a joint appointment in the Department of Biostatistics and Informatics at the Colorado School of Public Health as well as affiliated to the Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences (MCIN) Program.
