I am focused on understanding social phenomena that evolve over time and quantifying individual/group performance when direct information is scarce. My research program draws from my training in statistical and network-based methods, is a topical synthesis of sociology and epidemiology, and is focused on both population and individual-level data. This mixture leads to collaborations on a wide range of topics. My current interests and projects include:

• Using EHR data to quantify physician diagnostic ability, model barriers to implementation, and improve change agent selection to include relative performance measures
• Structural determinants and evolution of school gun violence in the United States over time
• Identifying latent capabilities and prowess of covert organizations from observable actions 
• Developing Bayesian methods to quantify and control for behavioral contagion in time series
  

Innovation adoption in professional networks; Predicting social dynamics with missing network information; Healthcare networks and decision support; Social policy; Conflict; Contagion in time series; Racial disparities in educational access and attainment.
