Profile

The focus of my research is a mix of collaborative investigations and methodological developments motivated by interesting scientific problems. My research interests include machine learning techniques, analysis of mixed effect models, survival analysis, competing risk models, and marginal structural modeling. During my postdoctoral research, we developed a clustering method based on the mixtures of Poisson kernels for clustering high dimensional data on sphere. My Ph.D. dissertation in biostatistics focused on recurrent events data. We presented a nonlinear hierarchical mixed effect model as an approach to event intensity rate modeling. In my master’s project, I used multivariate linear path model (MLPM) analysis to assess the effect of blood chemistry levels on time to hospitalization of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. My research in pure mathematics was in the areas of category theory and point-free topology.

I believe that interdisciplinary collaboration is the key to scientific progress, and I have collaborated with researchers from various departments, both as a coauthor, and primary author. In these studies, I conducted collaborative research on the health care of patients with chronic kidney disease, bladder cancer, HIV and so on. The collaborative research on chronic kidney disease was conducted with a nephrologist from the VA hospital in Buffalo, NY. The other collaborative research was conducted with researchers from the University of Missouri at Columbia. Some of the statistical methods employed in these studies included time dependent Cox model analysis, competing risk analysis, marginal structural model analysis, propensity score matching, ROC curve analysis, and so on.
