Designing experiments for complex evidence.

My work develops principled allocation strategies for studies where dependence, ordering, heterogeneity, and uncertainty matter.

01

Optimal experimental design

Allocation strategies that maximize statistical power, minimize variance, or protect performance against uncertainty in model parameters.

02

Cluster-randomized trials

Design methodology for trials with correlated observations, heterogeneous cluster sizes, and longitudinal or stepped implementation.

03

Crossover studies

Bayesian and locally optimal crossover designs for binary, Poisson, and other generalized responses.

04

Ordered experiments

Efficient designs and tests when treatments have a natural ordering, including intersection–union procedures and constrained alternatives.

05

Multiple comparisons

Max–min and game-theoretic designs for pairwise treatment comparisons under normal and binary outcomes.

06

Robust and Bayesian design

Designs that account for parameter uncertainty through priors, robust criteria, and least-favourable configurations.

Given a fixed experimental resource, how should observations be allocated so that the scientific question can be answered as reliably as possible?
