Area(s) of Interest: Causal inference, Bayesian sensitivity analysis, social epidemiology, and cancer
Project(s): Current research focuses on methods for addressing complex sources of bias in observational longitudinal cohorts, including the Healthy Worker Survivor Effect and informative delayed entry. These sources of bias threaten our ability to accurately estimate the causal effects of occupational exposures on worker health.
Area(s) of Interest: Exposure-response models for occupational health studies, cardiovascular disease, health disparities
Project(s): Current research focuses on racial health disparities in cardiovascular disease mortality. "To do so, I am using a cohort mortality study of hourly workers at General Motors (GM) plants in Michigan. Specifically, I am examining the racial composition of the GM workforce across plants and over time to identify the cumulative impacts...
