I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at Ohio State University. I received my doctorate from the Department of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University in August, 2006.

I have several research interests that are tied together by the common theme of using all available data to answer questions, which are primarily focused in the health and social sciences. My current research is about appropriately combining data collected from randomized controlled trials with data that populates administrative databases in unified analyses to reduce or eliminate the potential selection biases inherently introduced by both data collection methods. To accomplish this, I use Bayesian hierarchical models. I am interested in sensitivity analyses and appropriate prior specification for these models. I also work with data collected via sample surveys.
