Research Abstract
My research focuses on the development of statistical methodology for censored survival data, group sequential methods for the design and analysis of clinical trials, and the analysis of longitudinal data. As a general rule, my methodologic research is motivated by applications stemming from a multitude of clinical disciplines. .
