Yang Long
Statistics PhD Candidate @ George Mason University
Welcome! I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Statistics at George Mason University, advised by Dr. David Kepplinger and Dr. Lily Wang. My dissertation research focuses on statistical methods and theory for trustworthy AI in neuroimaging and hyperspectral imaging.
In particular, I develop robust and scalable estimation and inference frameworks that remain reliable in the presence of outliers, measurement error, missingness, and surrogate or model misspecification, while providing uncertainty quantification through simultaneous inference for large-scale, complex-stracutred data. I also leverage generative AI to enhance inference for functional GWAS, ensuring robustness to realistic data imperfections.
