Zhenke Wu is an Associate Professor (with tenure) in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. He holds affiliate appointments at the Michigan Institute for Data and AI in Society (MIDAS) and leads the Michigan Statistics for Individualized-healthcare Lab (MiSIL). His research bridges statistical methodology and public health applications, with particular focus on precision medicine. Educational background includes: PhD in Biostatistics from Johns Hopkins University (2014) BS in Mathematics from Fudan University (2009) Dr. Wu's methodological research focuses on: Structured Bayesian latent variable models for disease subtyping and clustering Causal inference methods for sequential interventions in mobile health studies Reinforcement learning frameworks for personalized health interventions Scalable computation for high-dimensional biomedical data His applied work spans infectious diseases, mental health, autoimmune disorders, and cancer through collaborations with multiple research consortia including the Intern Health Study and UZIMA-DS project in Africa. Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on Bayesian methods, causal inference, and reinforcement learning applications in digital health. Article themes include mobile health interventions, synthetic EHR development, fair machine learning algorithms, and novel approaches for longitudinal and survival data analysis. Methodological innovations consistently address challenges in precision medicine and individualized health decision-making. Dr. Wu leads several collaborative initiatives including the Precision Health Use Case for mental health treatment (PROMPT) and partners with the Rogel Cancer Center. He advises multiple PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in statistical methodology development and health applications.
