> Analysis of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Models > Model comparison and model selection of Dose Response ModelsKEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS & OUTCOMES:Developed an approach that leveraged C programming within R to dramatically improve calculation efficiency, resulting in a new method for analyzing Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Models.Multi-modal approaches for calculating Bench-Mark DoseExtensive use of R programming in Bayesian Analysis (Markov chain Monte Carol method) Effectively communicated complex technical strategies and statistical methods to a cross-functional, multi-disciplinary team of toxicologists, biologists and mathematicians. Statistical Analysis and Identifiability of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Models with application to Dimethylarsinic acid exposure

> Ph. D. with thesis entitled “Variable Selection of Missing Data Models” under the direction of Joseph Ibrahim> Thesis was published as three separate publications (see below)KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS & OUTCOMES:Theoretical, practical, and computationally intensive focus on Penalized Likelihood, Variable Selection, Bayesian Analysis, and Mixed Effects models and techniques. Extended Penalized Likelihood methods to allow the analysis and comparison of models and provide estimates simultaneously in the presence of missing data.
