Dr. Lu’s research interests are primarily in statistical genetics and statistical/machine learning. One area of research is to develop statistical/machine learning methods (e.g., tree and deep learning) for high-dimensional data analyses (e.g., genetic data analysis). In parallel with statistical/machine learning research, he is also interested in developing and applying new statistical methods (e.g., U-statistics). In addition to developing new methods, he collaborates with other researchers to investigate various biomedical and public health research questions.
