Ongoing Research Priorities
Surveillance Methodology and Data Analysis
My research in surveillance methodology and data analysis focuses on optimizing informatics pipelines to extract and harmonize medical records for robust injury surveillance. I employ epidemiological techniques to quantify and adjust for inherent information biases in observational data, and leverage Bayesian approaches to enhance the precision and analytical rigor of surveillance efforts. My work in this area is intended to drive actionable insights for evidence-based injury prevention.
Long-term effects of injury
My research on the long-term effects of injury in aging populations centers on understanding how cumulative injury experiences impact health later in life. I particularly focus on aging women as a target population, and aim to address measurement challenges associated with the retrospective assessment of life course injury histories. I employ advanced epidemiological techniques to address recall bias and misclassification issues, and aim to generate insights that inform targeted interventions in aging women.
