Research interests
My work spans applied biostatistics and methodological research. On the applied side, I provide state-of-the-art statistical expertise in collaborations with clinicians with a focus on kidney transplantation. Here my contributions cover prognosis and causal inference, but I am also involved in data curation and support the design and conduct of clinical trials.
On the methods side, my interests include prognosis research methodology and meta-scientific questions. Current projects examine how analytical decisions introduce variation in scientific results, and I contribute to developing a framework for evaluating the trustworthiness of novel biostatistical methods. I maintain open-source software supporting simulation studies, and I serve as Reproducibility Editor at the Biometrical Journal, promoting Open Science principles.
