Research Interests & Projects
My research focuses on the development and application of nonparametric and semiparametric
methods for survival analysis, with an emphasis on approaches for analyzing correlated
time-to-event outcomes. I am particularly interested in advanced statistical techniques
for handling complex data structures and in Bayesian methods. As a collaborator on
the CAPTURE study, a large cluster randomized clinical trial, I conduct statistical
analyses to identify undiagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and
assess exacerbation risk in primary care populations. I also have a growing interest
in statistical methods for infectious disease research. Overall, my work bridges methodological
innovation with impactful clinical and epidemiological applications.
