Research Interests

·       Mixture modeling, including latent class analysis (LCA), growth mixture modeling, latent transition analysis (LTA), and hierarchical modeling.

·       Development of novel statistical methods for big data, high dimensional data (e.g. large-scale genetics data), multiple comparison adjustment, mixture modeling, Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS), Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) for complex genetic traits, semiparametric modeling, and survey methodology with small area estimation for observational studies.

·       Public health research on tobacco use and health disparities, such as policy research for Tobacco 21 and smoke-free air laws, national health survey research for youth e-cigarette and other substance use, spatial research to identify socio-economic disparities and disease burden.

·       Social media research for public health surveillance, including real-time forecast using Google Trend, sentiment analysis and text mining using Twitter data.
