Education
Received her Ph.D. in Biostatistics from the University of Waterloo in 2005, after which she worked as an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University. She joined the University of Waterloo in 2011 as an Associate Professor and the Graham Trust Chair in Health Statistics.
Background
Dr. Zeng’s research focuses on the development and application of statistical methodologies to health-related fields. Her primary interest lies in methods for event history and longitudinal data analysis, addressing complex features such as multivariate or clustered processes, incomplete observations, composite endpoints, measurement error and response dependent sampling. She is also interested in the design of clinical and epidemiological studies. Dr. Zeng’s research collaborations and applications are in subject areas of health sciences, including aging, dementia and Alzheimer disease, Rheumatic diseases, environmental impact on childhood asthma, and reproduction in women.
