Clinical Biostatistician & Dentist | SPSS, R, Python | Medical & Dental Research

Profile Summary

I am a Specialist Dentist and Clinical Researcher with advanced expertise in biostatistics, epidemiology, and health outcomes research, offering high-level statistical consulting for medical and dental studies. My work integrates clinical insight with quantitative rigor, enabling accurate study design, robust data analysis, and defensible interpretation aligned with international reporting standards. I have extensive experience conducting and supporting observational studies, diagnostic accuracy studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. My statistical skill set includes sample size and power calculations; regression modeling (linear, logistic, Cox, and mixed-effects models); survival analysis; ROC and diagnostic performance evaluation; questionnaire validation (CVI, EFA, CFA, Cronbach α); and cost-effectiveness analysis (ICERs, probabilistic sensitivity analysis). I routinely work with SPSS, R, and Python, ensuring reproducible, transparent, and publication-ready outputs. My research portfolio spans clinical dentistry, endodontics, public health, health economics, and artificial intelligence in healthcare, with multiple peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. My approach emphasizes ethical research conduct, methodological appropriateness, and clear communication of complex results, because statistical validity is meaningful only when it is interpretable and clinically relevant. I am particularly well-suited for projects requiring a biostatistician with clinical domain knowledge, where understanding both the data structure and the underlying healthcare context is essential.
