Biography

Dr. Wen Wei Loh joined the Emory QTM team in Fall 2022. He comes to us via a post-doctoral fellowship at Ghent University in Belgium. Prior to joining Ghent University, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in Biostatistics at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Dr. Loh received his PhD in Statistics from University of Washington and MA in Statistics from Harvard University.  

Education

  • Ph.D., Statistics, University of Washington, 2016
  • M.A., Statistics, Harvard University, 2006
  • B.Sc., Mathematics and Statistical Science, University College London, 2005

Research

Dr. Loh enjoys working on causal inference for applications motivated by behavioral and psychological sciences toward improving health outcomes. His current research is in developing and promoting statistical methodologies for longitudinal data analysis that can sharpen researchers' assessment of causal mechanisms in observational study designs.
