My area of expertise is Biostatistics; specifically, I am interested in the application of statistics to the biomedical field. My primary interest is collaborating with colleagues on campus and at the Indiana University School of Medicine. As a collaborating statistician, it is often difficult to distinguish my "research" from my "professional consulting" activities; they are all part of my professional development. My personal statistical research includes variable selection and screening. I have also taken an interest in statistics education. Below is a selection of publications and presentations which I have co-authored during my career.
