I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, and a Visiting Scientist in the CAUSALab at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
My primary areas of research to date have been on the development and application of statistical methods in causal inference and the analysis of observational studies where complications can arise due to model misspecification, time-varying confounding and censoring/missing data. I believe that the development of novel methodologies should be rooted in practical applications. Thus, motivated by real-life applications in public health and medicine, my research addresses methodological and conceptual challenges that scientists may face in answering clinically relevant questions using real-world data studies. Challenges that arise in these observational studies include lack of randomization to the strategies of interest, and/or subjects dropping out of the study due to unknown reasons.
