I am an Associate Professor of Biostatistics with expertise in statistical methodology, power analysis, and longitudinal and multilevel modeling. Over the past decade, I have served as co‑PI, co‑I, lead statistician, senior consultant, and collaborator on biomedical and public health research with federal and state agencies as well as interdisciplinary teams.
My contributions have been recognized with honors such as the APHA Mid‑Career Achievement Award in Applied Public Health Statistics, SAS Ambassador recognition for innovative use of statistical modeling, and acknowledgment from the American Statistical Association. I am passionate about teaching and mentorship, having designed and taught undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics and data analytics, and I remain committed to advancing public health through rigorous, collaborative research.
Collaboration Interests
Collaboration Interests
I actively collaborate with interdisciplinary and international teams and welcome opportunities to build new partnerships that advance research in statistics, data science, artificial intelligence, and public health.
My work increasingly involves global and cross‑institutional collaborations, and I am committed to fostering scientific exchange across disciplines, institutions, and countries.
I am particularly interested in collaborative projects that translate methodological innovation—whether statistical, computational, or AI‑driven—into practical impact in clinical, biomedical, and public health settings.
