I
am a professor in the Department
of Biostatistics, School
of Medicine
at the Virginia
Commonwealth University. I am also an Associate
Member
and Director of the Biostatistics
Shared Resources at the VCU Massey
Cancer
Center.
My primary research interests are in spatial and spatio-temporal data analysis, survival analysis, non-Gaussian regression, clustered/correlated data, longitudinal data, nonparametric methods, precision medicine, and also their applications to problems in epidemiology and behavioral studies, mostly using a Bayesian paradigm. I am recently getting very interested working with electronic health records generated in a practice-based setting. My major clinical interest is in oral and craniofacial epidemiology, in particular, investigating periodontal health status and progression studies mostly funded by the NIH/NIDCR. Other clinical research interests include cancer, organ transplantation (kidney, liver, etc), diabetes, substance abuse and alcohol addiction, medical imaging, and neurological disorders.
