Addona's area of research interest is Survival Analysis, a branch of Biostatistics. Survival analysis is often used in studying the natural history of a disease. Addonna published a paper (co-authored by his Ph.D. supervisor, Dr. David Wolfson) which established a formal method to check that the incidence rate of a disease has remained constant over time using cross-sectional data. Other areas of interest are Bayesian methodology and sports statistics. EDUCATION: B.S., M.S., Ph.D., McGill University
