Area of Expertise
My research agenda can be broadly classified into two major dimensions: statistical methodology and discovery-oriented collaboration. In methodological research, I focus on (a) developing novel statistical methods to address real-world research challenges and (b) evaluating existing methods to inform practical recommendations for applied researchers. In discovery-oriented collaborative research, I aid discoveries with sophisticated data analytics in large interdisciplinary research groups. Thus far, I have contributed to three scientific areas: aging and Alzheimer’s disease, health behaviors and substance use, and statistical genetics / genetic epidemiology.
