Distinguished alumni Kung-Yee Liang visits UW
UW Biostat alum Kung-Yee Liang, Distinguished Chair Professor and Senior Advisor for Office of the President at Feng Chia University and former president of the National Health Research Institutes of Taiwan, was the featured speaker at this year’s Norman E. Breslow Distinguished Lecture.
Liang’s lecture focused on his journey from biostatistician to leading a university and a national health research institute in Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic. He believes biostatisticians are an excellent fit for administrative roles.
During his visit, Liang met with a number of campus leaders, including UW President Ana Mari Cauce and School of Public Health Dean Hilary Godwin. He also shared early career insights with UW Biostat students during their weekly seminar.
