My Ph.D. training is mostly in applied mathematics. I'm interested in learning materials of linear statistical models, especially their applications in data science or statistical machine learning. Is there a good reference book to start with?

The Elements of Statistical Learning is probably a very good starting point if you are going to be working in machine learning and/or data science.
Friedman, J., Hastie, T., & Tibshirani, R. (2001). The elements of statistical learning (Vol. 1, No. 10). New York: Springer series in statistics.
This is also available free online, and has many further references.
