Bio
I joined the Biostatistics faculty at Emory in 2005 as Rollins Assistant Professor. My methodological research has been mainly focused in survival analysis, dynamic regression, and nonparametric and semiparametric inference with my recent work tackling their overlalps with causal inference, latent class analysis, and high-dimensional statistical learning. I have also worked on developing new statistical methods driven by scientific investigations in Diabetes Research, Cystic Fibrosis, Mental Health, Environmental Health and Neurology. My methodological research programs have been supported by both NSF and NIH grants.
My collaborative research spans over areas including Diabetes, Cystic Fibrosis, Neorology, and other chronic diseases.
