Bio

My research covers a broad array of application areas, including neuroimaging, cardiovascular health, social determinants of health, arts & health, and child welfare, among others. I recenetly published a probabilistic model to conduct data integration analysis and apply it to data from older patients who are either at-risk for or diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. An R package to replicate the analysis is availbale on my github page. My methodolgocial work has largely been in data integration methods. However, I also have expertise in functional data analysis, and I'm building expertise in methods for spatial data analyses. I also serve as a member of the Biostatistical Collaboration Core and the GA CTSA BERD Core, where I provide statistical expertise to early-career and student investigators for data analysis and study design.
