My primary research interests include analysis of missing data, design, implementation and analysis of clinical trials, and statistical machine learning. Other research interests are longitudinal data analysis, semi-parametric statistics, diagnostic tests without gold standard, modeling with stochastic processes, and analysis of gene expression data. The fields of application include breast cancers, environmental health in petroleum industry workers, reproductive health of women, pancreatitis, critical care medicine and inflammatory bowel disease.
