Overview


I study the meaningful use of Electronic Health Records data. My research interests sit at the intersection of biostatistics, biomedical informatics, machine learning and epidemiology. I collaborate with researchers both locally at Duke as well as nationally. I am interested in speaking with any students, methodologists or collaborators interested in EHR data.
