Soutrik Mandal
I am an assistant professor at the Division of Biostatistics within the Department of Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
I am interested in developing new methodologies for solving biostatistical problems with real-world applications. My two primary research areas include semiparametric and nonparametric methods in survival analysis, specifically truncation and interval censoring of survival times, and measurement error problems for high-dimensional data.
I received my Ph.D. from the Dept. of Statistics at Texas A&M University under Drs. Samiran Sinha and Suojin Wang. My dissertation focused on developing a semiparametric method of analyzing linear transformation models for interval-censored data with covariate measurement error.
During postdoctoral research at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, I developed semiparametric and nonparametric methods to address left truncation of survival times under different sampling structures with my mentor Dr. Ruth Pfeiffer. With my mentor Dr. Jianxin Shi, I developed a bias correction technique for estimating the overall fraction of phenotypic variance attributed to high-dimensional predictors measured with error.
