Xu Shi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan. Previously, they held a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard’s Data Science Initiative (2017) under Tianxi Cai and Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen. Their research focuses on statistical methods for administrative healthcare data, electronic health records (EHR), and causal inference. Key projects include developing scalable pipelines for EHR curation, causal inference methods for comparative effectiveness studies, and co-leading the FDA’s Sentinel Initiative Innovation Center’s Causal Inference Core.
Education: Ph.D. in Biostatistics from University of Washington (201?), B.S. in Mathematics & Applied Mathematics from Zhejiang University, China. Research emphasizes harmonizing distributed EHR data, addressing unmeasured confounding in air pollution studies, and rare adverse event analysis through flexible propensity score methods. They also explore medical knowledge extraction from ICD code patterns and natural indirect effect estimation robust to measurement errors.
Awards: None explicitly listed. Grants & Advising: No specific grants or students listed, but their work involves collaborative initiatives like the FDA Sentinel Program. Labs/Teams: Active in the Causal Inference Core and distributed healthcare data partnerships with institutions like Henry Ford Health System and Kaiser Permanente.
