On June 23, Ph.D. student Yan Li successfully defended his thesis entitled “Amalgamation-Based Statistical Learning for Compositional Data”. The defense took place online via WebEx and was attended by many students and faculty members. Yan is co-advised by Drs. Kun Chen and Jun Yan, and his committee consists of Drs. Robert Aseltine, Kun Chen, Elizabeth Schifano, and Jun Yan. Thank you all for your support.

After graduation, Yan will be a Post-Doc at the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan.

Congratulations, Dr. Li!
