Research and Teaching Interests

Dr. Jiajia Zhang’s main research and teaching interests focus on investigating the association between the mortality/incidence of a certain disease with its potential risk factors using survival analysis. Specifically, her methodological research interests include investigating advanced survival models including survival model with longitudinal predictors, mixture cure model, illness death model, spatial survival model, frailty model, and linear transformation model. Dr. Zhang also extends her interests in developing advanced statistical methodologies in handling the complex data from the electronic health record, such as developing the new prediction model based on longitudinal electronic health record.
