Her research interests are in the areas of longitudinal data analysis (e.g., methods and models for studying intra-individual change, variability, and relations, and inter-individual differences in them), multilevel modeling (e.g., dyadic data analysis), structural equation modeling (e.g., mediation analysis), and study design issues (e.g., sample size determination). She has taught Advanced Statistics in 2014 and 2015 at the University of Notre Dame.
