Dr. Yichuan Zhao is a Full Professor of Statistics, Georgia State University, Atlanta. He has a joint appointment as Associate Member of the Neuroscience Institute and he is also an affiliated faculty member of School of Public Health at Georgia State University. Dr. Zhao has a B.S. and an M.S. in Mathematics from Peking University, and an M.S. in Stochastics and Operations Research from Utrecht University. He received his Ph.D. in Statistics from the Department of Statistics at Florida State University in 2002 under the direction of Professor Ian McKeague. His current research interest focuses on survival analysis, empirical likelihood method, nonparametric statistics, statistical analysis of ROC curves, high-dimensional data analysis, bioinformatics, Monte Carlo methods, and statistical modeling of fuzzy systems. He has published 100 research articles in Statistics and Biostatistics research fields. Dr. Zhao has organized the Workshop Series on Biostatistics and Bioinformatics since its initiation in 2012. The ICSA Springer Book from the workshop can be found through New Frontiers of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics. He also organized the 25th ICSA Applied Statistics Symposium in Atlanta as the chair of both the organizing committee and program committee to great success. In addition, the 6th ICSA China Conference that he organized as the chair of both the organizing committee and program committee was a huge success. The ICSA Springer Book from the Symposium reflects new challenges in the contemporary data era, see the book: New Advances in Statistics and Data Science for details. A Springer Book reflects statistical modeling in biomedical research, see the book: Statistical Modeling in Biomedical Research. A Springer Book reflects advanced statistical methods for health research, see the book: Modern Statistical Methods for Health Research. A Springer Book reflects data analytics methods for management, banking and finance with novel applications to real-world problems, see the book: Data Analytics for Management, Banking and Finance: Theories and Application. A Springer Book reflects theory, methods and applications in precision health, see the book: Statistics in Precision Health: Theory, Methods and Applications. He served on program committee of numerous statistical conferences, and is currently serving on the editorial board, for several statistical journals including Electronic Journal of Statistics, Journal of Nonparametric Statistics and Journal of Applied Statistics. Dr. Zhao is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute.
