✨ My three dissertation projects are:
- Constructing interval variables via faceted Rasch measurement and multitask deep learning, applied to hate speech
- A new targeted learning method for causal inference of multiple treatments (mixtures), applied to chemical exposures
- A nested ensemble clinical model for heart attack risk prediction in electronic health records

⚡ Additional long-term projects include:
- Multi-modal deep learning to track social media marketing of e-cigarettes (vaping) to teenagers - initial study
- Causally motivated, nonparametric variable importance - varimpact software
