Biography
Serving as an Associate Research Scientist, I am a member of the Biostatistics Shared Resources (BSR) team of the Yale Cancer Center and a reviewer of its Protocol Review Committee and Data and Safety Monitoring Committee.
My expertise and research interests include: clinical trials methodology, clinical research based on electronic health records, generalized linear mixed models (e.g., usage in modeling clinical response, repeated measures), applied survival analysis, Bayesian approaches to health-care evaluation (e.g. hierarchical models, simultaneous evidence synthesis and cost-effectiveness modeling), comparative effectiveness research, systematic reviews and evidence synthesis methods (e.g. network meta-analysis, diagnostic / prognostic accuracy reviews), and so on.
