Research I completed my PhD in Statistics at McGill University in 2006. My research interests are in survival analysis and other medical applications of statistics. My thesis (pdf) is entitled, "Stationarity in a prevalent cohort study with follow-up". Here is a recent paper (pdf ) which I co-authored on testing the constancy of an incidence rate using prevalent cohort data. I am also interested in statistical methods for post-election audits. Here is a paper (pdf) I co-authored in The American Statistician. I am also interested in sports statistics. I have worked with undergraduate students on adjusted plus-minus ratings in the NBA, and on run expectancy, win probabilities, and the effects of steroid useage in Major League Baseball. For a complete list of my work, including capstone/honors project, and summer research advising, please see my CV. |

Personal
I was raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and am the son of Italian immigrants. I am thus fluent in both French and Italian. My wife Isadora is from Golden, Colorado, and she is completing her PhD in School Psychology at the University of Minnesota. We do not have any kids yet, so we spend a lot of time spoiling our cat.
As a proud Canadian, I love my hockey (Isadora is a fan of the Colorado Avalanche and my favorite team is the Montreal Canadiens). I am also a huge football (NY Jets) and baseball (I miss the Montreal Expos ... ) fan.
