Peng is a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Statistics at Rice University, under the supervision of Dr. Ying Yuan and Dr. Ziyi Li at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Research Areas

His research interests are centered on the development of novel Bayesian methods and computational tools for complex innovative clinical trial designs and high-throughput genomic studies. Specifically, he developed several novel Bayesian methods and designs for clinical trials. These include Bayesian dynamic information borrowing from historical data in clinical trials, adaptive designs for randomized dose optimization trials, a Bayesian adaptive design that utilizes both animal and human data for precision medicine, and decentralized clinical trials using machine learning methods. Additionally, he proposed a Bayesian methodology and computational tool for evaluating the intratumor heterogeneity using multi-region gene expression data.

Honors & Awards

One of his projects, which involves designing multi-dose randomized clinical trials for dose optimization, was selected for the 2023 ASA Biopharmaceutical Section Regulatory-Industry Statistics Workshop Student Poster Award. Additionally, his deconvolutio
