My research focuses on how advanced analytic methods can reveal hidden structure, inequities, and trajectories in clinical and population health data. I am particularly interested in approaches that bridge individual-level clinical insight with population-level patterns.
My PhD research interests were at the intersection of public health informatics and computational epidemiology, focusing on spatial epidemiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the development of prediction models for TBI outcomes.
My postdoctoral work builds on this foundation with a focus on translational analytics; developing methods and frameworks that are suitable for real-world clinical and health system application .

PhD Projects
My research reveals intriguing spatial patterns in TBI prevalence, indicating that the distribution of TBI cases is not random, but instead exhibits geographic clustering.
Mental Healthcare Utilization in TBI
Individuals who have experienced a TBI are more likely to seek mental health services compared to those without a history of TBI.
New onset Psychiatric Disorders after TBI
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients constitute a highly heterogeneous population, with varying risks for New-onset Psychiatric Disorders (NPDs).
Depression affects approximately 30% of individuals after traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet long-term depression trends and their determinants are poorly understood.
In collaboration with the Neurotrauma Research Program and the Nova Scotia Trauma Program, I conduct research on a broad range of topics related to trauma care and trauma system performance.
