I am a biostatistician at the Rick Hansen Institute and adjunct professor in the Department of Medicine at University of British Columbia. I obtained my PhD in biostatistics and postdoctoral training in computational neuroscience. I was engaged in analyses of several Canadian and international epidemiological and longitudinal studies in order to develop risk profiles for people living with Alzheimer disease. The main focus of my current research includes patient outcomes following traumatic spinal cord injury and Alzheimer’s disease and also developing statistical and machine learning models.
