Background
- Thomas J. & Alice M. Tisch Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at Brown University.
- Methodological research focuses on developing Bayesian nonparametric methods for causal estimation, particularly for sequential treatments with incomplete information.
- Integrates principled causal reasoning, nonparametric Bayesian modeling, and efficient computation to build data-driven decision-making systems.
- Motivating applications primarily in chronic diseases such as oncology and rheumatology.
- Current work partially funded by PCORI contracts, including projects on optimizing sequential treatment strategies in acute myeloid leukemia and causal inference with incomplete covariate information.
