Research and Professional Experience

I am interested in survival analysis, biased sampling, causal inference, measurement error, and Smoothing. My work is inspired by and applied to biomedical and epidemiological studies.

Keywords: Survival analysis, Causal inference, Measurement error, Longitudinal data analysis, and Smoothing
