Associate Professor of Biostatistics at @dukenus, @NUSingapore, and @DukeU, specializing in trial designs, precision medicine, and digital health interventions
It's exciting to see public health researchers embracing cutting-edge methods!
I've been interviewed by the Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Public Health to chat about SMART and MRT designs... @AMJPublicHealth

Thank you to @bibhas1002 who fought on my side this "really, really long battle", and to the overall 4 anonymous reviewers who all appreciated and encouraged us to push forward with this work.
This is how I started my journey in #RL 5 years ago. How I started my PhD.
I put all my heart into this work and at times I hated it (especially after 4 long years w 2revisions in StatSci!).
Finally out in ISR!
This was my lesson in surviving research.

Now, if you want to know more about #reinforcementlearning, and its potential role in biostats and healthcare (with case studies), or open research directions, here, you can find my 5 cents.
I'd like to express my gratitude to all my mentors, collaborators and students, who have helped establish my credibility, leading to this appointment. And thanks to @dukenus and @NUSingapore for supporting my career all along!

Happy to share our @dukenus lab's work on causal effect estimation of zero-inflated count data from #mhealth studies, led by PhD student Xueqing Liu @SusieinMay

5/n – This is a joint work with biostats and economics collaborators from Duke-NUS, NUS, and Yale: XinruWang, @bibhas1002, YusukeNarita. Want to know more? Follow this link: https://t.co/jta4Jvtpdw
4/n – We finally illustrate the practical potential of the SMART-EXAM design using data from a SMART for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Working in sequential designs or DTRs?
We propose a novel #SMART, under an economic Experiment-as-Market framework, that holds the potential to improve participants’ welfare by incorporating their preferences and predicted treatment effects.

Happy to have presented our lab's #mobilehealth trial design work, involving the use of #artificialintelligence#ai, from Duke-NUS Medical School @dukenus at the Australian Clinical Trials Alliance International Clinical Trials Symposium 2023 in Melbourne! Thanks organisers!
Congrats to #DukeNUS PhD student Kenneth Lee on placing in the top 3 finalists for the Royal Statistical Society's Statistical Excellence Award for Early Career Writing! 🎉🙌 Read more at https://t.co/ugTakmpHj4

Engagement with digital or #mhealth interventions is a crucial step toward achieving any intervention effect whatsoever. @utekleong and I have just published a scoping review of #engagement with #mhealth interventions. Check this out: https://t.co/SDWr3xSHhT
Happy to find out that the following paper from our lab is a #TopCitedArticle published in #BiometricalJournal during Jan 2021 - Dec 2022:
Sample size calculation based on precision for pilot sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) https://t.co/7sml3kYp6k
Fascinating insights from day 1.
I am still mulling on a conversation about micro-randomisation and sequential multiple assignment randomised trials with @zongel
How many MH trials are using these designs currently ?
Two papers from our lab, first-authored by PhD students Xinru Wang and Xueqing Liu, got featured on the cover of the Jan 2023 issue of @AMJPublicHealth!
