Research Interests

 

My research focuses on biostatistics and statistical methods for pharmacoepidemiology and perinatal epidemiology. Topics of specific interest include causal inference in observational studies, particularly large pharmacoepidemiologic studies. I am co-principal applicant and leader of the methods team for the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies.

Supervision

 

I am not currently accepting graduate students or postdoctoral fellows. Prospective PhD students in biostatistics and in epidemiologic methods (with applications to pharmacoepidemiology and perinatal epidemiology) should feel free to contact me but I do not expect to have positions until fall 2025 at the earliest.

Employment

 

No current positions. I accept applications for data analyst positions on a rolling basis.

Curriculum Vitae
