Bio

Chih-Li Sung is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Probability at Michigan State University. His research interests include computer experiment, uncertainty quantification, machine learning, big data, and applications of statistics in engineering. He was awarded Statistics in Physical Engineering Sciences (SPES) Award from ASA in 2019. He is currently an associate editor for Technometrics and Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (CSDA). His research is supported by NSF DMS 2113407.

Chih-Li Sung received a Ph.D. at the Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech in 2018. He was jointly advised by Profs. C. F. Jeff Wu and Benjamin Haaland. He also received a B.S in applied mathematics and an M.S. in statistics from National Tsing Hua University in 2008 and 2010, respectively.
