Biography

My statistical research interests broadly focus on the design and analysis of observational studies, primarily in the context of epidemiology. The three areas that collectively represent my primary focus are:
* The analysis of semi-competing risks survival data, where interest lies the distribution of some non-terminal event but that observation time is subject to truncation by death.
* The use of biased sampling schemes to mitigate biases that commonly arise in observational studies, including confounding and selection bias, as well as to enhance statistical efficiency in resource-limited settings.
* The use of data from large, complex electronic health record and administrative databases for public health research.

I have also worked and published in a broad range of substantive areas, including:
* Breast cancer screening
* Alzheimers' disease
* Long-term outcomes among patients undergoing bariatric surgery
* Readmission and mortality among patients diagnosed with cancer
* LGBQT health
* Skin cancer prevention among survivors of childhood cancer
* HIV/AIDS, particularly in low-income countries
* Obesity and bariatric surgery
* Maternal and child pregnancy-related outcomes
