Haidong Lu at Yale

I am now a postdoctoral associate at Yale University working with Gregg Gonsalves. Prior to coming to Yale, I obtained my PhD in Epidemiology (major) and Biostatistics (minor) at UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health working with Stephen R. Cole, Daniel Westreich and Alex Keil (2020). I completed my master's degree at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USA.

My research mainly focuses on epidemiologic and statistical methods (causal inference, semiparametric inference/double robustness, machine learning, structural biases, heterogeneous treatment effects/generalizability, sufficient cause) as well as spatiotemporal analyses, with applications to several substantive areas (HIV/AIDS, clinical trials, substance use, cognition, mental health, and pharmacoepidemiology).

In general, two kinds of research intrigue me: important questions, and interesting methods.

I support Slow Science.
