RESEARCH:
My area of research is biostatistics including longitudinal data analysis, measurement
error and missing data problems, Bayesian analysis and statistical computation.
I have collaborated as a co-investigator and statistician on a number of
research projects with either intramural or extramural funding in the health
sciences. Some of research studies I have participated also motivated the
statistical methodology research.
