Helen Peng

Statistics & Data Science Graduate | Incoming Biostatistics M.S. Student

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a degree in Statistics & Data Science and a concentration in Psychology, and will be pursuing an M.S. in Biostatistics at Columbia University. I’m interested in applying statistical methods to questions in health and medicine, and in how data can support better decisions in clinical and public health settings.

Through my background in psychology, I’ve also gained research experience in cognitive science through the OAK Lab, where I study how people learn and discover complex rules.

Outside of academics, I enjoy recharging with books, shows, and other stories. You can check out my statistics and data science projects in the Projects tab, and some of my favorite books in the Bookshelf tab!
