I am a staff scientist in the Biostatistics and Computational Biology division of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. I create statistical methodology that bridges epidemiology and toxicology with the goal of modeling and predicting biological responses to mixtures of chemicals. I support the Applied Statistics group led by Shanshan Zhao, which develops statistical methodology to understand how the enviroment affects health.

I focus on statistical and mathematical modeling to understand how we are affected by the chemicals around us. The statistical side involves fitting models to data, where we strive to have a relatively simple and interpretable model that can explain or discover structure in the data. The mathematics come in when we want to incorporate our prior knowledge into the statistical model. For example, we may expect the data to obey a differential equation, be monotonic, or satisify additivity conditions, and we need to introduce these constraints to the statistical model. Although I have experience with both frequentist and Bayesian methods, I prefer Bayesian approaches.
