Biography

Background

I am a Senior Lecturer in Biostatistics. I am interested in statistical methodology and medical applications, including:

Time-to-event data, survival analysis, Cox model, recurrent events, and multivariate failure time data
Cross-over, before-and-after and difference-in-differences designs with sample size and power calculations
Electronic medical record data
Sensitivity analysis and test
Uncertainty quantification
Confounding problem
Quasi-likelihoods
Model misspecification
