Research Program

I'm drawn to questions of how much useful information can be extracted from difficult data.  This puts me in and around the intersection of a few research areas including Bayesian analysis, partial identification, causal inference, measurement error, and evidence synthesis.   Many of the motivations for, and applications of, my work arise in epidemiology, public health, and biostatistics.  If forced to come up with an acronym for my research program, I'd have to go with REDDI - the Reasoned Evidence from Difficult Data Initiative.

NEWS AND THOUGHTS

July 2019: New paper out, looking at how treatment effects on proximal and distal outcomes should/do relate to one another.

Jan 2019: New gig-started term as Department Head.

THE TEAM

I'm fortunate to have worked with current and former graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
