Research and Teaching Interests:

My methodological interests have evolved along four inter-related lines: (1) Bayesian methods and statistical computing; (2) longitudinal data analysis and time series analysis; (3) structural equation modeling; and (3) study design and sample size determination. I also work on developing new meta-analysis and machine learning techniques. From a substantive perspective, I am interested in applying quantitative methods in developmental, clinical, cognitive, educational, and health research.

I am currently accepting applications from prospective graduate students.
