I am an Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University. My research mainly focuses on methodological and theoretical development along with applied and collaborative work in the field of missing data, diagnostic medicine categorical data, and efficient sampling designs. As a co-principal investigator, I worked with the Georgia Driver’s Education Commission to determine the effectiveness of Joshua’s Law for the prevention of car crashes, injuries/fatalities, and traffic citations, and to determine if there is a differential effect on the outcome based on method of classroom instruction in Georgia. I also worked on a sub-award from a NIH grant for community-based research to improve prostate cancer patient treatment decisions. As a director of the Karl E. Peace Center for Biostatistics and Survey Research at Georgia Southern University, I have been involved in many consulting projects over the years.
