    Collapse Overview
    Most of my past and current research is oriented around causal mediation analysis. A part of my work provides a comprehensive guide to applied statisticians and epidemiologists that can help them navigate the philosophical subtleties and abundant methodology in causal inference. Another part of my work is to develop methodologies for complex causal mediation structures, including mediation analysis with treatment-induced confounding, mediation analysis with multiple mediation pathways, and mediation analysis for longitudinal data, using rigorous statistical theories for semiparametric inference.
    In addition to causal mediation analysis, my research involves causal discovery, which is another important topic in causal inference, and cluster randomized trials with stepped wedge designs, which are related to model-based causal inference with longitudinal data.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
