My research is focused on using causal inference methods and large health databases to improve health decision-making, with a focus on cancer control. I am co-director of the VA-CAUSAL Methods Core, an initiative of the U.S. Veterans Health Administration to integrate high-quality data and explicitly causal methodologies in a nationwide learning health system. I currently teach causal inference methodology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where I am Assistant Professor of Global Cancer Prevention in the Department of Epidemiology.
