Associate Professor in Biostatistics
College of Medicine and Public Health
I am interested in developing methods that allow evaluate the network, and study the mechanisms by which causal effects arise. My research employs counterfactual theory and ideas from causal inference to clarify and formalise concepts used by epidemiologists, and health researchers. My work is motivated by applications in public health and medicine, and has been used to analyze data from complex observational studies as well as clinical trials. With my research, I hope to provide tools that facilitate the conduct of transparent and replicable science.
