Research Interests
My present research areas include sequential experimentation, adaptive inference and control, stochastic optimization, time series analysis and forecasting, regression analysis of censored and truncated failure time data, design and analysis of clinical trials, probability theory, and stochastic dynamical systems. My methodological research in these areas has been motivated by and is closely related to my applied interests in engineering systems, financial economics, and medicine. I am also currently involved in several research projects in the Division of Medical Informatics, the Cancer Hyperthermia Laboratory, and the Center for AIDS Research at Stanford.
