Research Interest
Dr. Liu has a broad research interest in the development of statistical models and techniques to address critical issues in health and nursing sciences, computational processing of Big Data in clinical Informatics and Genomics, statistical modeling and assessment of risk factors (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, central obesity, smoking) for adverse cardiovascular and renal outcomes and maternal and child health. His expertise in statistics includes, but is not limited to, repeated measures models with missing data, multilevel models, latent variable models, and Bayesian and computational statistics. Dr. Liu has led and co-led several NIH-funded projects on the quality of care for hypertensive patients. Dr. Liu has published over 70 peer reviewed articles (including JASA, JCGS, SIM, Human Molecular Genetics, AJH, JASH, Journal of Psychiatric Research, and Schizophrenia Research), and presented over 80 topics at local, regional and national conferences in statistics and health sciences. In addition, Dr. Liu has served as session chair at ENAR and editorial boards (in an editor or co-editor role) for 4 academic journals.
