Tsung-Hung Yao is a Postdoctoral Fellow of Biostatistics Department at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center under the advisory of Dr. Supraterk Kundu. Before he joined MD Anderson, he worked with Dr. Veerabhadran Baladandayuthapani and Dr. Zhenke Wu at the University of Michiagn. His research interests are mainly in Bayesian modeling and high-dimensional data. This includes different methods such as Bayesian nonparametric, diffusion tree modeling, functional data analysis, and Bayesian graphical models. These methods are mainly motivated by the various applications such as the image data, pre-clinical patient derived xenograft and multiomics integration data.

We propose a novel global-local framework that partitions coefficients into exclusive subsets with independent Dirichlet process (DP) priors on each subset to improve the scalability, while simultaneously providing enhanced flexibility compared to global clustering in the high-dimensional function.
We conduct the Bayesian inference that makes efficient local move on the space of ultrametric matrices by leveraging the bijection map between the ultrametric matrices and the tree space.
