Huang's research and scholarly activities are designed to impact both the foundation of statistics and its applications and generalizations like machine learning and data science. Huang's research are focused on information based statistical inference, semiparametric modeling, nonparametric statistics, multiple comparisons, and statistical applications of stochastic processes. He has published papers in the areas of efficiencies of semiparametric models, robust statistical procedures, nonparametric density estimation, and data-driven statistical procedures. His research has applications to microarrany large-scale data analysis, wireless networks analysis, data clustering & pattern recognition, as well as to statistical problems involving semiparametric models. He engages in developing foundational results in modern statistics and machine learning. Huang maintains strong collaborations with academic colleagues and participates closely in supervising the Ph.D. dissertations of graduate students. He constantly seeks novel approaches to develop foundational results in modern statistics and machine learning.
