Summary of my research
I currently work on a number of clinical trials including BATCH, TRIDENT, FLAME, TAPERS and DOMINO-HD.
I have been actively involved in the ACE Project to develop an official CONSORT extension for clinical trials with an adaptive design.
I am a member of the Adaptive Designs Working Group of the MRC Network of Hubs for Trials Methodology Research.
I have (co-)authored and/or am the maintainer of a number of R packages that are freely available on CRAN, including MAMS (multi-arm multi-stage studies), BayesMAMS (Bayesian multi-arm multi-stage studies), jocre (joint confidence regions), modest (model-based dose-escalation trials), ANOM (analysis of means) and simboot (simultaneous inference for diversity indices).
