My paper, “Improving the efficiency of infectious disease prevention trials using negative control outcome event times”, is now available on arXiv. We investigate how adjusting for negative control infection times can improve the efficiency of prevention efficacy estimates against a target infection time through overlapping exposure mechanisms. The work draws heavily on semiparametric theory for…
My paper, “Debiasing hazard-based, time-varying vaccine effects using vaccine-irrelevant infections: An observational extension of a pivotal Phase 3 COVID-19 vaccine efficacy trial”, was selected as an Early in Career Paper Award Winner by the American Statistical Association (ASA) in 2026. Many thanks to all my collaborators, and I am excited to attend the JSM meeting in August 2026 to present my…
