Zhou is a research focused individual to serve as a biostatistical teacher within the Center for Clinical Investigation. Primarily, Zhou collaborates closely with investigators in the Department of Radiology with 0.6 FTE. Zhou Lan earned his Ph.D. in Statistics from North Carolina State University and received the Paige Plagge Award. Zhou has advanced knowledge of diverse statistical techniques such as spatial statistics, Bayesian computing, and longitudinal data analysis with applications to neuroimaging and clinical/epidemiological studies.
