Research and Professional Experience
My research interest focuses on the development and application of statistical methods for longitudinal data, population-based studies related to aging research, especially those with ignorable or non-ignorable missing data. Areas of research include joint modeling of correlated longitudinal processes using mixed effects models, generalized linear models, and survival analysis. Collaborative research includes work on Alzheimer's disease, dementia, multimorbidity, and health services and public health issues.
