Motivated by years of experience as a statistical consultant for academic research in medical sciences and social sciences, I am interested in exploring practical methodology and providing tailored solutions that have exciting real-life implications.
I have published more than 100 peer-reviewed statistical methodology and medical collaboration papers, and have co-investigated multiple institutional, state, NIH, DoD and PCORI funded grants.
