Liming Peng is a Chinese biostatistician who works as a professor of biostatistics and bioinformatics at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University,[1] where she is also affiliated with the Winship Cancer Institute.[2] The topics of her statistical research include survival analysis, quantile regression, and nonparametric statistics; she applies these methods to the study of chronic diseases including diabetes and cystic fibrosis.[1]
Education and career[edit]
Peng earned a master's degree in probability theory and mathematical statistics from the University of Science and Technology of China.[2] She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2005. Her dissertation, Contributions to Semi-Competing Risks Data, was jointly supervised by Rick Chappell and Jason Fine.[3]
Peng joined Emory as Rollins Assistant Professor in 2005.[1] At Emory, she is a long-term and frequent collaborator with two other women in biostatistics, Amita Manatunga and Ying Guo.[4]
Recognition[edit]
Peng was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2016.[5] In 2017, she won the Mortimer Spiegelman Award of the American Public Health Association.[6] She was named to the 2022 class of Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, for "innovative and significant contributions to statistical methodology for survival analysis, quantile regression, and high-dimensional inference, and for dedicated professional service".[7]
