Research
As a researcher, my work spans across multiple disciplines including healthcare, education, aviation, and mental health. These projects demonstrate my ability to apply complex statistical methods and data-driven approaches to real-world business problems, as well as my commitment to leveraging technology to address health issues.
Another significant part of my research involves economic and statistical modeling. I believe in the power of simple models to understand complex real-world phenomena. By distilling complex systems into their essential components, these models provide valuable insights that guide decision-making and strategy.
In summary, my research is characterized by its diversity and practical application, demonstrating my commitment to using data analytics and simple models to solve real-world problems.

Errata
- Owen, D. B. (1980). A table of normal integrals: A table. Communications in Statistics-Simulation and Computation, 9(4), 389-419.
- While trying to solve some integrals, I found an error with the integral 110 in TABLE I (page 9).
The integral is missing a “b” in the term G(x sqrt(1+b^2) + a/ sqrt(1+b^2)).
It should be G(x sqrt(1+b^2) + ab/ sqrt(1+b^2)).
