This month, we spotlight new member Wanying Shao, who answered the following questions so we could get to know her better:
How did you become interested in statistics and/or data science?
I became interested in statistics during my undergraduate studies, when I realized its power to solve various real-world problems. Working on these projects helped me deepen my understanding of statistical methods, which inspired me to pursue further studies in the field.
What do you consider your dream job?
My dream job would be to work on clinical trials and related research, either in academia or industry.
What do you hope understanding statistics and/or data science helps you accomplish?
Through my understanding of statistics, I hope to apply statistical tools and methods to public health and medical research such as optimizing clinical trial designs.
Is there a particular group of statisticians you would like to reach out to you (e.g., from a section, interest group, chapter, committee)?
I am interested in connecting with the Biopharmaceutical Section, as it closely aligns with my research and career interests.
What is your favorite hobby?
I enjoy hiking and taking road trips. These activities help me stay connected to nature.
