Background and Research

I joined the Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics in 2003, as a statistician with the Statistical Consulting Center. After completing my PhD in Applied and Industrial Mathematics, I joined the faculty of the Department in the Fall of 2011. My primary research collaboration is with the Pediatric Emergency Division at Northwestern University and Lurie Children's Hospital in which I provide biostatistical support to faculty, fellows, residents and attendings with their research. Some notable projects include identifying discriminating characteristics of abused children in the pediatric emergency setting and deriving clinical decision tools for the detection and management of pediatric pneumonia. My methodological research primarily focuses on methods for clustered data under informative cluster size and informative within-cluster covariate distributions. I also have interest in the areas of survival analysis and multistate models. Previously, I conducted collaborative research with Susan Harkema, PhD in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

Teaching

My current primary teaching responsibility is the core sequence in introductory biostatistics for Master of Public Health (MPH) students (PHST 500 and 501). I am also program director for the online MS in Biostatistics, for which I also teach the course in Survival Analysis (PHST 683). In previous years, I have taught several other courses for our MS and PhD degrees in biostatistics and have supervised several students in MPH practica, MSc in CIS projects, MS practica and theses, and PhD dissertations.

Professional Memberships and Certifications

I am a member of the American Statistical Association (ASA), former treasurer of the Kentucky Chapter, and was accredited by the ASA in 2010 (PStat^®). I am an elected member of Delta Omega (Beta Pi Chapter), the national public health honor society, a Commonwealth Scholar of the Commonwealth Institute of Kentucky, and School of Public Health and Information Science Alumni Fellow (2021).
