Nancy M. Daraiseh, PhD
Associate Professor, UC Department of Pediatrics

As a research engineer, I have expertise in systems and human factors engineering in healthcare and other high-risk industries. As a practitioner, I provide consultation and expertise on operational initiatives for employee safety and well-being.

My research areas of interest include occupational health and safety, human factors, patient safety, health outcomes and stress. My primary goals are to develop systems to detect and eliminate hazards from the healthcare work environment and to improve outcomes for providers and their patients while enhancing performance, efficiency and satisfaction.

Emrah Gecili, PhD
Research Fellow

My research has focused on the development and validation of biostatistical models incorporating biomarker data aimed at outcomes prediction. Specifically, my interest lies in a variety of both Bayesian and traditional approaches for prediction and estimation models, including multiplicity adjustments for genomic data, as well as covariate modeling of proteomics and imaging as predictors of rapid human lung disease (such as in cystic-fibrosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis, and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome) progression.

Cole Brokamp, PhD
Associate Professor

I am an associate professor of pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine interested in geoinformatics, environmental and population health, and fairness in precision medicine. My research is focused on understanding the heterogeneous effects of environmental exposures and community characteristics on childhood psychiatric and neurobehavioral health outcomes. I am also interested in developing new methods and technologies to support environmental and population health research, including statistical computing tools for geocoding and geomarker assessment, high resolution spatiotemporal air pollution exposure assessment models, and causal inference machine learning methods.am
