Ying Wei is a statistician and a professor of biostatistics in the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, working primarily on quantile regression, semiparametric models of longitudinal data, and their applications. [1]

Wei graduated with a B.S. degree in 1998 and a master's degree in 2001 from the University of Science and Technology of China. In 2004, Wei earned her Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. [1] Her dissertation, Longitudinal Growth Charts Based on Semiparametric Quantile Regression, was completed under the supervision of Xuming He. [2] Since 2004, Wei has been a faculty member of Biostatistics in the Columbia University, and also an affiliated member of the Data Science Institute. [3]

In 2011, Wei received the Noether Young Scholar Award of the American Statistical Association, "for outstanding early contributions to nonparametric statistics." [4] In 2015, Wei was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. [5] Wei is also an elected member of the International Statistical Institute. [6] In 2020 she was named as a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics "for contributions to the development, dissemination, and application of mathematical statistics". [7]
