Hi, I’m Haonan Wang
Professor of Statistics
My research mainly falls into the following areas: object oriented data analysis, functional dynamic modeling, and spatial statistics. My primary research centers on developing new mathematical and statistical methods to solve many problems from various scientific research fields. Object oriented data, such as tree-structured data, random graphs, manifold data and curve data, are frequently collected. In object oriented data analysis, many problems were motivated by data from neuro-image which can be represented by a set of tree-structured objects. The fundamental properties of the topological structures were studied. I am particularly interested in the problem of modeling tree-structured data to explain the relationship between tree-structured covariates and numerical response, and/or between numerical covariates and tree-structured response.
