Collaborative Research

Collaborations: (#: equal contribution; underline: student advisee) 

My current collaborative research mainly focuses on design and analysis of behavioral interventional clinical trials and longitudinal cohort studies. I'm also advising PhD students in biostatistics, collaborating on research projects in surgical research. In the past, I worked with variety of investigators in biomedical research, involving analysis of RCT, survey data, electronic health records, multiomics data, etc.
