Welcome to my homepage! I’m Fangyi Wang (王方奕), a fifth-year PhD candidate in the Department of Statistics at The Ohio State University. Before my PhD study, I completed a B.S. in Biological Sciences at Tianjin University and an M.P.H. in Biostatistics at Yale University. My research interests include functional and shape data analysis, conformal prediction and distribution-free inference, nonparametric methods, Bayesian statistics and applied statistical modeling in public health and social science. Here are my CV, research statement and Google Scholar page.
I was born in a small city in Shandong, China, which became well known in 2023 for its barbecue. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, badminton, and watching Formula 1.
