Faculty Profile
Bin Nan, PhD
- Professor, Biostatistics
- Professor, Statistics
Bin Nan received his PhD in biostatistics from the University of Washington in 2001 and joined the faculty at the University of Michigan in the same year. Prior to his graduate study in the United States, he had been teaching and doing research in statistical quality control and operations research for the aerospace industry in China. Dr. Nan's research interests are in various areas of statistics and biostatistics including semiparametric inference, failure time and survival analysis, longitudinal data, missing data and two-phase sampling designs, and high-dimensional data analysis. He is also collaborating in many studies in areas of epidemiology, bioinformatics, and brain imaging, particularly in cancer, HIV, women's health, and neurodegenerative diseases.

I am interested in all statistical problems arising from my collaboration in biomedical research. I am currently focusing on the development of new methods in the areas of survival analysis, analysis of high-dimensional brain image data, and analysis of longitudinal data with change-points, terminal events, and variables subject to limit of detection.
