Primary fields of research

My research focuses on method development in prediction modelling and causal inference. Although there is often a clear distinction between these two paradigms in epidemiology, I believe that methodological advances made within each area could enrich that of the other. I think that innovative methods helping researchers address current challenges in public health can be born from bridging separated worlds of knowledge.

I mainly work in the methodology of prognostic modelling - both for predictive and causal inference purposes. My methods focuses on the use of prognostic scores for prediction, but also estimation of population-level and individualised patient-level causal effects. My methodological work applies to both experimental studies and observational studies. For causal inference in observational studies, I also work on other methods based on counterfactual framework (e.g. matching methods, model-based standardization, inverse probability weighting, propensity score analysis.)
