Research

My primary interests involve decision making in low-data and low-resource settings. I am most motivated by operations research problems that carry significant public impact.

Dissertation work at Northwestern centered on the regulatory tool of post-marketing surveillance. This surveillance helps address the critical issue of substandard and falsified medical products, which afflict millions globally—most pointedly in low- and middle-income countries. This work has featured edifying collaborations with a variety of institutions, including the University of Notre Dame, the Liberia Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Authority, and United States Pharmacopeia. These collaborations have produced interesting theoretical and practical tools for combatting poor-quality medicines, described in the "Post-Marketing Surveillance" and "Logistigate Software" sub-pages.

Prior roles in global public health also yielded some implementation and observational research regarding community health and the Ebola crisis. This research is referenced in "Teaching/Collaboration" on the "Data during Ebola" sub-page.
