My current research aims to improve prediction of health outcomes using transfer-learning techniques, clinical decision-making pipelines, feature and outcome engineering, and uncertainty quantification. Over the last decade, I have been author and statistician on multiple grants and studies investigating mental and physical health including suicide, heart failure, dietary habits and obesity, meaning in life, veteran health, and other dimensions of biopsychosocial well-being. I have also focused on methodological advancements in modelling non-linear interactions.
