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.
