Lingling Zheng

I’m an experienced technical team lead with a strong track record of leading, developing, and motivating teams to achieve success. Experienced with providing technical guidance and mentorship to team members, helping them grow their technical skills and knowledge and successfully deliver results. Skilled at adapting coaching approaches in changing business needs and priorities and motivating team members to achieve success. Strong communication skills and ability to build positive relationships with team members and stakeholders. Demonstrated success in setting clear goals and expectations while providing constructive feedback to help team members build confidence and meet business objectives. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, and received doctoral training in Statistics and Machine learning. I have successfully applied my technical expertise to varied domains such as fraud detection, cloud computing, AIOps, cloud data center operation, biomedical/pharmaceutical fields and clinical trials, helping organizations to achieve substantial cost savings. Specialty High dimensional predictive modeling, Bayesian statistics, Bayesian sparse factor analysis, statistical machine learning, data mining, feature selection, disparate data fusion, statistical computing. Machine learning and Statistics: 1) Supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods. 2) Multivariate data dimension reduction: PCA, Factor analysis(including nonparametric Bayesian FA with beta-Bernoulli process). 3) Regularization methods: (Bayesian and frequentist)-Lasso, Ridge, Elastic net. 4) Statistical methods on linear models, generalized linear models; survival analysis, shared frailty model,etc. 5) Statistical inference/computing: MCMC(Metropolis-Hastings, Gibbs sampling), variational Bayesian, EM, MAP, Gradient descent. 6) Computational algorithm design.
