Dr. Guan-Hua Huang joined the faculty of the National Chiao Tung University in 2003. He received his Ph.D. in Biostatistics from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Dr. Huang is an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Statistics. Before this, Dr. Huang was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences and also held a joint appointment with the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Dr. Huang's research inquiry is informed by the fact that in many medical studies, the definitive outcome is inaccessible, and a valid surrogate endpoint is then measured in place of the clinically most meaningful endpoint. Therefore, his primary research interest is in developing latent variable models for analyzing this kind of data structure. He is particularly interested in issues about model identifiably, selecting the number of classes, model diagnosis and nonignorable missingness problems of latent class regressions.

Dr. Huang's other areas of statistical research include the longitudinal data analysis, random effect and marginal models and missing data problems. Ophthalmology, diabetes study and health-related quality of life measurement are scientific areas in which he is most deeply invested.
