Research Interests

My research examines military and veteran health broadly through the use of publicly available datasets. My research has used data from the All of Us Research Program, the Healthy Minds Study, the Panel Study for Income Dynamics, among other sources. These projects allow for investigating novel hypotheses to better understand the impacts of military service on health and well-being while preventing additional survey burden on military personnel and veterans.

My lab is currently not recruiting undergraduate research assistants or doctoral students for 2024 and 2025.
