您好,
我是康杰

Hello, I’m Jie Kang.

Portrait of Jie Kang

I seek to solve.
To see. To serve.

I’m a Lecturer in Applied Statistics at the University of Sydney’s School of Mathematics and Statistics. My research asks why individuals respond differently to biological and environmental challenges. I build statistical and machine-learning methods for genomic prediction, early detection of health changes and measuring resilience, in both agriculture and human health.

Why do individuals respond differently to biological and environmental challenges?

What I work on

Pascal's triangle modulo 2

Genomic prediction

Statistical methods that turn genomic data into better predictions of performance, health and resilience.

Pascal’s triangle, mod 2 Binomial coefficients, kept only when odd, fold into a Sierpiński triangle: the arithmetic of Mendelian inheritance, repeated generation after generation.

The Lorenz attractor

Early detection

Using routinely collected data to spot health changes before they become visible problems.

The Lorenz attractor A deterministic system that switches between two states, where small changes grow quickly. That’s why catching a shift early matters.

Resilience to stress

Quantifying how well individuals cope with, and recover from, biological and environmental stress.

A hyperboloid of one sheet A curved surface made only of straight lines. The same geometry keeps cooling towers light and strong.

Borromean rings

Across three countries

Collaborating across agriculture and health with partners in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland.

Borromean rings No two rings are linked, yet the three can’t be pulled apart. Remove any one and the others fall free.
