Research Focus

My research focuses on investigating and predicting short- and long-term outcomes of pregnancy complications for both mother and child, while examining racial disparities in perinatal outcomes. My research expertise spans perinatal epidemiology, development and validation of clinical prediction models, pharmacoepidemiology, and (global) maternal and child health.
