    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    I see myself as a collaborative biostatistician that develops statistical methodology for problems encountered when working with collaborative teams. I am a faculty biostatistician a part of the Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) group in the Wake Forest Clinical and Translational Science Institute. From my involvement in BERD and general collaboration with other researchers across WF and beyond, I work across a wide range of medical and public health disciplines, including: cancer, neurology, intensive care, pediatrics, telehealth, and more. My areas of applied statistical experience and expertise include, but are not limited to: design and analysis of clinical trials (particularly dose-finding trials), longitudinal/clustered data analysis, mixed models, analysis of EHR data, analysis of continuously monitored patient data, Bayesian methods, missing data, and prediction modeling using traditional and machine learning methods (e.g. Random Forests).

    My statistical methodology research interests stem from my collaborative work and include: design of dose-finding cancer trials, the development of composite toxicity burden scores in cancer patients, methods for handling missing data (particularly from daily patient diaries), and prediction modelling.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
