Research Summary

My current research is focused on the development of algorithms for building predictive and causal models from large amounts of heterogeneous, high dimensional, spatial, temporal, multi-scale data and the application of the resulting tools in predicting health risks and health outcomes using combinations of clinical, genomic, behavioral, environmental, and socio-demographic data, modeling complex interactions between food, energy, and water systems, and people.
