I am an Associate Professor and Department Chair of the Deaprtment Management Information Systems and Supply Chain Management in the John Chambers College of Business and Economics at West Virginia University. I also serve as Co-Director of the Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) Core at West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute. My research is in multivariate and multi-task statistical learning, statistical computing, and the applications of these areas in business operations and health. Specifically foucusing on rural health. My research supported in part by the NIH NIGMS by NIH NIGMS 2U54GM104942-02 NIMHD 1U01MD017419-01, and NIMHD 1R21MD020187 NIMHD 1U01MD017419-01.
