I am an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at The Ohio State University College of Public Health. My research interests include developing robust statistical models that can accommodate specific characteristics frequently found in applications, such as outliers, skewness, time dependence, and censoring. 

I have experience working with regression and mixed models in the context of time series and longitudinal data. I currently collaborate with researchers from the OSU Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Center and OSU College of Public Health. These collaborations span from small clinical trials to large observational studies.

I am currently funded by the National MS Society (NMSS) to investigate DNA methylation patterns for people with MS and explore their relation with disease severity and disease progression, linking my methodological research interest related to variable selection in high dimensional longitudinal data with my collaborative research involving MS.
