Associate Director for Research Methods and Analysis, Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDSBiography
My academic training is in human ecology, so I take an ecological perspective to my work in epidemiological statistics. Of special interest is data that is correlated by space, social networks or other factors. Missing data and other lacunae in data sets has become my specialty
