Fengqing (Zoe) Zhang, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Prior to joining Drexel University, she obtained her PhD degree in Statistics at Northwestern University. Her research interests primarily center on the development of multimodal integrative approaches and advanced statistical methods to improve our understanding of health and aging. Specifically, her lab focuses on modeling complex, high-dimensional data, such as neuroimaging (e.g., MRI, DTI, fMRI, PET) and rich behavioral datasets, to investigate brain development and aging, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease), and psychiatric disorders. Her methodological approaches include machine learning, Bayesian inference, and high dimensional data analysis. She also specializes in the design and statistical analysis of clinical trials, particularly focusing on sample size optimization, adaptive designs, and enrichment strategies. In addition, she works on statistical methods development to inform real-time, individualized treatment sequences (e.g., Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions) and to integrate multimodal data from wearable devices (e.g., fitness trackers, heart rate monitors).
