My new page is https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/chen-rx
 
In my PhD, I have been focusing on understanding the following questions:
1. Phase transition of fully-hydrated lipid bilayers.
2. Self-assembly of antimicrobial peptides such as cyclotides into membranes.
 
In addition to membrane-protein biophysics, I am also interested in understanding medicinal research such as clinical trials from statistical perspective. I am very intersted in statistical modeling.
 
I will be finishing my PhD in 2011. I am looking for a statistical position in preferiably a clinical trial context, which will allow me to bestly combine my knowledge and interests in Medicine and Statistics.
 
== '''Education''' ==
 
Master of Medicine (Biostatistics) Xi'an Jiaotong University [http://www.xjtu.edu.cn:8080/en/], China (Sep 2004 to Jul 2007)
 
Bachelor of Medicine (Preventive Medicine) Xi'an Jiaotong University [http://www.xjtu.edu.cn:8080/en/], China (Sep 1999 to Jul 2004)
 
== '''Statistcal Skills''' ==
 
I have good knowledge in the following statistical methods.
 
1. Sample size estimation and power analysis by using available equations as well as modeling approaches.
 
2. Randomization/sampling techniques.
 
3. General/generalized linear model for uncorrelated data.
 
4. General/generalized linear mixed model for correlated such as longitudinal data.
 
5. Bayesian modeling.
 
6. Missing data imputation techniques.
 
== '''Computer Skills''' ==
 
1. SAS9 for comprehensive statistical analysis. I am a certified advanced programmer for SAS9[http://support.sas.com/certify/directory/dirfound.hsql?pattern=&country=Australia&cert=SAS+Certified+Advanced+Programmer+for+SAS9&x=40&y=7 Verify].
 
2. Matlab and Tcl for scientific computing. Matlab is a very handy tool for statistical modeling. I have been using Tcl extensively together with VMD for constructing molecular systems and analysing data trajectories in my PhD peojects.
 
3. SQL and Visual Basic for database design. I attended a Database Theory course in 2005 and spent quite a lot of time using SQL and VB 6.0 to sucessfully design and implement a Simplified Library Database Management Sysgem.
