My proposed research focuses on developing fundamental theory and methods of nonparametric and semiparametric inference for survey sampling, reliability engineering, and medical studies. It also addresses modern applied modeling and computational problems in environmental studies, network analysis and big data. It tackles theoretical and computational challenges that arise from these research fields, and aims at providing theoretically sound and practically useful methods. We expect our research outcomes, including novel statistical theory, methods and software, to receive wide attentions from researchers and to be directly employed by scientists and knowledge users for solving practical problems.
