During the COVID-19 pandemic, Wu collaborated virtually to advance research in applying change-point analysis to medical imaging, notably for detecting gastrointestinal bleeds and lung injuries. Her team’s methods identify pixel-level abnormalities in images, aiming to automate alerts for doctors. These tools also have potential applications in quality control, pollution detection, and more.
Her research emphasizes practical software development, enabling non-experts to utilize statistical methods without deep theoretical knowledge.
