My primary appointment is in Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine (ACCM) at the JHU School of Medicine. I am a member of the Quality and Safety Research Group within ACCM which is run by Peter Pronovost. I am jointly appointed within Biostatistics where I teach Longitudinal Data Analysis and Multi-level Models and have several collaborations with Biostat faculty members.

My current research projects involve

a) analysis of voluntary patient safety reporting systems with applications to multilevel models

b) analysis of data within ICAP (Improving Care of Acute lung injury Patients) with applications to longitudinal data analysis, survival analysis and causal inference

c) development of a web-based tool that allows Alzheimer's researchers the ability to project global or local prevalence, incidence, and costs of Alzheimer's disease with applications to discrete multi-state Markov models, check it out:
