Research Interests
My research interests are in developing and analysing methods for
joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data. I have also
worked on mathematical statistics problems related to notions
of exchangeability for survival processes as well as network
modeling. More recently, I have begun work on just-in-time
adaptive interventions with applications in mHealth.
