I am currently an assistant professor of epidemiology in the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh. My research interests lies in diabetes epidemiology, injury epidemiology, and health economics. Most often, I examine cost issues in diabetes or injuries.

I became involved in injury research following an internship as a graduate student with the injury group at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, GA. I started by looking at the role of medical conditions in motor vehicle crashes and now I am in vestigating the costs of violence.
