Ying Guo
Ying Guo is a Chinese biostatistician specializing in biomedical imaging, neuroimaging, and high-dimensional data analysis.[1] She is a professor of biostatistics and bioinformatics at Emory University, where she directs the Emory Center for Biomedical Imaging Statistics(CBIS).
Education and career
[edit]Guo graduated from Renmin University of China in 1998 and earned a Master's in statistics in 2000. She completed her Ph.D. in biostatistics at Emory University in 2004.[2] Her dissertation, Assessing Agreement for Survival Outcomes, was supervised by Amita Manatunga[3].
After continuing to work at Emory as a research assistant professor, she was offered a tenure-track position in 2006. Later, in 2014, she became acting director of the Center for Biomedical Imaging Statistics in 2014 and director in 2016. She became a full professor at Emory in 2019.[2] At Emory, Guo has maintained longstanding and active collaborations with two other female biostatisticians Amita Manatunga and Limin Peng[4]. Guo’s research develops advanced statistical methods for complex biomedical data, with a focus on brain function, Connectome, mental health, and neurodevelopment, and translates these innovations into impactful public health applications.
Recognition
[edit]Guo was the president of the Georgia chapter of the American Statistical Association for 2017–2018.[2] In 2018, she was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.[5] She was also the elected chair of the ASA Statistics in Imaging program in 2021.[6]. She received the Michael H. Kutner Distinguished Alumni Award in 2023.
