Ding Ma

Ding is a biostatistician and reserach fellow at the UQ Clinical Trials Centre. His research focuses on developing statistical methodology for time-to-event data, particularly semiparametric survival models, joint modelling of longitudinal and time-to-event data, and methods for addressing non-proportional hazards. His doctoral research focused on estimation methods for semiparametric accelerated failure time models with time-varying covariates. He also has experience in clinical trial design and simulation, including multi-arm multi-stage and Bayesian adaptive designs, and in applying modern survival and joint modelling methods to health data in areas including motor neurone disease and oncology. Ding is passionate about advancing statistical methodologies to support applications in biostatistics, especially in the design and analysis of clinical trials.
