Statistical methodology for complex longitudinal and causal data

My work sits at the intersection of rigorous statistical inference, modern computation, and biomedical applications. A recurring goal is to develop methods that remain reliable when data are multivariate, longitudinal, high-dimensional, non-Gaussian, network-structured, or incompletely observed.

L

Longitudinal & Clinical Trials

Rank-based inference, multivariate longitudinal outcomes, missing data, trial design, power, and covariate adjustment.

I

Imaging & Neurodegeneration

Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MRI/CT, survival analysis, digital twins, and virtual trials.

N

Nonparametric & Robust Inference

U-statistics, rank methods, global testing, resampling, and robust inference for complex data.

D

Data Science & AI

Machine learning, graph learning, misinformation, structured high-dimensional data, and computational statistical methods.

T

Time Series & Higher-Order Dependence

Polyspectra, nonlinear processes, quadratic prediction, and higher-order frequency-domain inference.

C

Causal Inference & Discovery

Causal discovery, instrumental variables, Mendelian randomization, graph-structured causal learning, and causal estimation.
