As Chief Scientific Officer at Kirklin Solutions, I lead a team focused on transforming complex health data into practical insights that improve patient care in critical settings. Kirklin Solutions, a UAB spin-off, bridges research and clinical practice, bringing advanced analytics to the bedside.I specialize in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and heart transplant research and have led statistical analysis for national registries like INTERMACS, PEDIMACS, and PHTS. My work has improved the understanding of risk factors for advanced heart failure interventions and provided valuable insights to clinical practitioners to help inform and optimize patient care.I hold a PhD in Epidemiology from UAB, with a focus on survival analysis and large-scale observational studies. Our research has resulted in numerous publications and presentations at national and international conferences.Outside of work, I’ve summited 46/50 US state high points and enjoy rock climbing and skiing.Specialties- Scientific Leadership and Strategy- Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) Research- Survival Analysis and Outcomes Modeling- Advanced Epidemiological Methods- Statistical Programming (SAS Certified Advanced Programmer)Let’s ConnectI’m always open to connecting with professionals in healthcare research and data science.
