About the instructor:
Professor Lu Mao is an associate professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at University of Wisconsin (UW) - Madison. He joined the department as an assistant professor after obtaining his doctoral degree in Biostatistics from UNC Chapel Hill in 2016 under Dr. Danyu Lin. His research interests include survival analysis (particularly composite outcomes), causal inference, semiparametric theory, and clinical trials. He is currently the PI of an NIH R01 grant on statistical methodology for composite time-to-event outcomes in cardiovascular trials and an NSF grant on causal inference in randomized trials with noncompliance. Besides methodological studies, he also collaborates with medical researchers in cardiology, radiology, cancer, and health behavioral interventions, where time-to-event and longitudinal data are routinely collected and analyzed. He has taught several short courses on statistical methods for composite outcomes to general audiences, including a recent one at the 2024 Joint Statistical Meeting (JSM) in Portland, OR.
