Tell us about a project you are currently working on or recently completed.
In the summer of 2023, I defended my doctoral dissertation. I examined synergy and antagonism within various log-linear models, including hierarchical, non-hierarchical and non-standard models. I also explored the implications of synergy and antagonism in various fields, including epidemiology and drug combination studies.
