I’m an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at McGill University with a joint appointment in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health and the Department of Medicine. I’m also a Junior Scientist at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and a Researcher in the Quantiative Life Sciences program at McGill.
I’m broadly interested in the development of assumption-lean statistical methods and their application to quantitative problems in the health and life sciences. Assumption-lean procedures combine causal inference and machine learning techniques to avoid unjustified assumptions about the data-generating process, encouraging dependable statistical inference. I’m also committed to the development of open-source statistical software and, more broadly, to the adoption of reproducible research practices. My most recent work has focused on causal machine learning methods for treatment effect modifier discovery in clinical trial data.
