About Me

Brief Introduction

My name is Wenqing Qian (钱文清). I am now a second-year doctoral student in the Michigan Program of Survey and Data Science (MPSDS) at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am also a graduate student research assistant (GSRA) at the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), working in the Psychosocial and Aging Group led by Prof. Jacqui Smith. I am currently investigating some data quality issues of the Life History Mail Survey (LHMS), including item nonresponse and data consistency. During academic years 2025-26 and 2026-27, I co-lead the Survey Methods Lab, which is a student-run weekly seminar series for students in the MPSDS to share their thoughts and communicate with faculty visitors.

Previously, I was a guest researcher at the Department of Digital and Computational Demography in the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) between 2021 and 2023, mainly in collaboration with Dr. Ole Hexel (Check his personal website here!) and Prof. Emilio Zagheni.

I got my Master’s degree in survey and data science from University of Michigan in 2024, and my Bachelor’s degree in statistics from Fudan University in 2022.
