Daniel Almirall is a statistician recognized for developing methods to create evidence-based adaptive interventions. These interventions guide individualized decisions for managing chronic illnesses or disorders such as drug abuse, depression, anxiety, autism, obesity, and HIV/AIDS.[1]
Education and Career
[edit]Daniel Almirall is Research Associate Professor in the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.[2] In 2019, he co-founded the Data Science for Dynamic Intervention Decision-making Laboratory (d3lab) within the Quantitative Methodology Program at the Institute for Social Research. In 2021, he became the Co-Director of the Data Science for Dynamic Intervention Decision-making Center (d3center).
Almirall earned his Ph.D. in Statistics from the Department of Statistics at the University of Michigan in 2007.
Research and Contributions
[edit]Almirall's research as a statistician and methodologist focuses on developing tools to enhance health, education, and well-being.[2] His work encompasses new approaches to data collection and analysis, collaborating with psychiatrists, psychologists, and data scientists to apply these methods.[2] His research is particularly oriented toward mental health and substance abuse.[2]
His primary methodological interest lies in the development of statistical methods for adaptive interventions, also known as dynamic treatment regimes.[2] These interventions use tailored decision rules to manage chronic illnesses or disorders, adjusting the intensity, type, or delivery of treatment at critical decision points.[2] Almirall addresses methodological challenges in designing sequential multiple-assignment randomized trials (SMARTs) and other trial designs to optimize or evaluate adaptive interventions.[2]
Almirall's substantive interests include various areas with a focus on mental health (autism, depression, anxiety) and substance abuse, particularly in children and adolescents.[2]
