My current statistical work deals with methods for secondary analysis of multiple longitudinal studies using both meta-analysis techniques and random regression methods. I also have a strong interest in statistical computation, having written statistical software under Phase I and II Small Business Innovative Research grants from the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
