Rate My Professor Yunwei Zhang

Zhang's research focuses on survival analysis, model selection, personalized prediction models for allograft survival, and kidney transplant allocation systems, often applied to complex multi-modality kidney disease data. Key publications include 'A Kidney Transplant Support System for Patient-Clinician Shared Decision-Making' (Journal of Medical Systems, 2025); 'Robust variable selection methods with Cox model—a selective practical benchmark study' (Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2024); 'SurvBenchmark: comprehensive benchmarking study of survival analysis methods using both omics data and clinical data' (GigaScience, 2022); 'simKAP: simulation framework for the kidney allocation process with decision making model' (Scientific Reports, 2023); and 'Endoplasmic reticulum protein 5 attenuates platelet endoplasmic reticulum stress and secretion in a mouse model' (Blood Advances, 2023). She has received major awards such as the Early Career Researcher Enabling Scheme Grant from Macquarie University (2024), Early Career Researcher Awards from the Transplantation Society of Australia and New Zealand (2023, 2022), and the Dean's International Postgraduate Research Scholarship from the University of Sydney (2019-2022). Zhang coordinates units including MAS 222 Probability and Statistical Inference at Murdoch University and has taught extensively in data science and statistics. She serves as a council member of the Statistical Society of Australia WA Branch and on various university committees.
