EMPLOYMENT

GRADUATE GROUP IN BIOSTATISTICS (UC DAVIS), CA

2012 - 2015

Research Analyst

Doctoral Dissertation Project

Propose novel recursive partitioning algorithm to identify cut points in candidate variables for stratification using a cause-specific proportional hazard model on competing risks length of stay data from National Burn Repository database

Measure prediction error of estimated cumulative incidence curves using inverse probability weighted brier score prediction error curves in the case of censored competing risks data

Investigate algorithm for non-parametric significance testing of differences in prediction procedures using cross validation and approximate permutation distributions

SHIRE REGENERATIVE MEDICINE, LA JOLLA, CA

SUMMER 2012

Internship

Develop and present SQL Server training tutorial to members of statistics group

Query and parse batch record data in the data historian database using SQL Server

Apply mixed effects models and simulations to probe latent variables and their contribution to Dermagraft lot assay performance

Create Minitab macros for members of MTS group to automate transcription of Dermagraft Cell Expansion data into control charts and time series plots

CENTER FOR INTEGRATED FACILITY ENGINEERING, (STANFORD UNIVERSITY), CA

2011- 2012

Statistical Consultant

Collaborate with doctoral researcher from Construction Engineering and Management program to analyze effectiveness of Dynamic Metric-based Feedback Intervention on client satisfaction scores through longitudinal surveys collected from five prominent construction projects (Shanghai Disney, Stanford and Sutter Hospitals)

Use time series and multivariate analysis methods (including autoregression, cross correlation, canonical correlation, dynamic regression) to investigate link between client satisfaction and metrics measuring innovation, effectiveness, latency, and leadership of site project managers

Determine that overall use of weekly feedback intervention did not lead to increased client satisfaction

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE (UC DAVIS), CA

SUMMER 2010

Research Analyst

Conduct research for the Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) for Surgery Resident Involvement project on data from American College of Surgeons-NSQIP database

Employ logistic regression models on risk-stratified morbidity and mortality scores for seven common surgery procedures from 38,000 patient records to conclude that presence of surgery resident during surgery does not negatively impact morbidity or mortality outcomes
