Pei Wang, Ph.D.
Dr. Pei Wang is an assistant professor in the Department of Applied Statistics and Operations Research. Before joining Bowling Green State University, he served as an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at Miami University. He earned his Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Kentucky in 2021.
Dr. Wang's research focuses on two main areas. The first involves cognitive data analysis, where he works to identify significant factors in the progression from normal cognition to dementia, assess high-risk individuals, and estimate event counts in cohort studies based on the probability of cognitive impairment. The second area is high-dimensional data analysis, where he develops variable selection and dimension reduction techniques to streamline large datasets into smaller, more manageable sizes, enabling the use of classical statistical methods. He is also keen on applying these developed approaches to practical, real-world problems.
