• Capture-recapture studies :capture-recapture method is a commonly used method in population abundance estimation. It has got wide applications in fisheries, biology, engineering and epidemic studies. My research incorporate the couting process into the traditional capture-recapture studies. The areas cover the parametric, semiparametric and nonparametric models.
• Statistical models in public health, which includes logistic regression, loglinear model, Cox regression model, Generalized Additive Model and linear mixed model etc.
• Poisson process.
