Professional Services

AI-powered research and workflow consulting, biostatistical expert testimony, and independent data monitoring.

Alongside my academic work, I offer a few professional services on a consulting basis: AI-powered research and workflow consulting for those looking to put modern generative-AI tooling to good use; biostatistical expert-witness services in medical and scientific litigation; and independent data monitoring for pharmaceutical and academic clinical trials. Each practice draws on the same methodological toolkit — careful study design, quantitative reasoning under uncertainty, and clear communication to non-technical audiences — now augmented by hands-on experience with modern large-language-model tooling.

AI-Powered Research & Workflow Consulting

Advancing your work with modern AI

I have worked with researchers, professionals, and organizations across a wide range of fields who are looking to bring modern generative-AI tooling into their work in a thoughtful, practical way. Engagements can draw on either mainstream cloud-based AI services or locally-hosted large-language-model deployments, depending on what fits best for the work.

Representative capabilities include:

  • Literature and evidence organization — structured search, triage, indexing, and synthesis across large bodies of research or domain documents, with traceable, verifiable outputs that support the expertise of the author rather than replace it
  • Document and data-pipeline automation — ingestion, extraction, summarization, and quality-controlled reporting over heterogeneous document sets (PDFs, spreadsheets, email, specialized file formats)
  • Statistical and analytical workflow support — reproducible analyses, simulation studies, and Bayesian modeling prototypes
  • Custom integrations and small-scale automation — purpose-built tooling that lets AI agents work safely with your domain-specific software, documents, and databases
  • Strategic advisory and team enablement — helping leadership and staff make informed decisions about where AI fits (and where it doesn’t), with a focus on validation, confidentiality, and long-term maintainability

Sectors I’ve worked across

I have applied these tools across a broad range of domains, which helps in transferring patterns that work in one field to problems in another:

  • Academic and clinical research — evidence synthesis and collaborative research workflows
  • Legal and regulatory matters — document review and organization of case-related materials
  • Healthcare operations and education — course design, assessment workflows, and document curation
  • Professional and creative practices — LaTeX-based publishing, scientific typesetting, and custom tooling for specialized software
  • Civic and nonprofit work — policy analysis, board-level reporting, and long-form document drafting

Expert Witness Services

What I offer

I provide biostatistical expert opinions and testimony in medical malpractice, pharmaceutical, and scientific causation matters, with engagements that typically include:

  • Written expert reports quantifying statistical evidence, epidemiological risk, or scientific reliability
  • Deposition testimony and trial testimony in state and federal courts
  • Daubert/Frye admissibility analyses and rebuttals of opposing experts
  • Literature review and critical appraisal of published studies, meta-analyses, and regulatory submissions
  • Case consultation with counsel on statistical strategy and discovery

Representative case experience

Past matters have involved:

  • Medical malpractice involving diagnostic performance and clinical decision-making
  • Pharmacoepidemiology and adverse-event causation
  • Interpretation of clinical-trial endpoints and regulatory evidence
  • Scientific methodology disputes involving probability, sampling, or causal inference

Independent Data Monitoring

DSMC/DMC roles

I have served as an independent biostatistician on Data Safety and Monitoring Committees (DSMCs) and Data Monitoring Committees (DMCs) for investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored clinical trials. Responsibilities have included:

  • Pre-trial review of statistical-monitoring plans and stopping rules
  • Unblinded interim analyses of efficacy and safety
  • Presentation of statistical reports to DSMC/DMC deliberations
  • Ad hoc consultation on signal evaluation, sample-size adaptation, and protocol amendments

Prior engagements

  • Penn State Cancer Institute Data Safety and Monitoring Committee — Member (2024–2025), with additional earlier service to Penn State Cancer Institute research-oversight committees.
  • Industry-sponsored pharmaceutical DMCs — Independent biostatistician on multiple sponsor-led clinical trials spanning oncology and other therapeutic areas.

If your sponsor or academic center is seeking an independent DMC biostatistician, please contact me to discuss fit, availability, and conflict checks.
