Nicholas Illenberger, PhD

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Population Health’s Division of Biostatistics. My research combines insights from the areas of causal inference, semiparametric estimation, and cost-effectiveness analyses to address important issues in health services research. In particular, my methodological work develops approaches for assessing treatment effect heterogeneity using observational data from complex longitudinal and clustered data settings. This work is critical in determining which populations may most benefit from additional interventions in low-resource settings.

In partnership with colleagues across NYU DPH and VA HSR&D I also have experience working on problems related to mobile health, behavioral economics, educational interventions, diabetes, and obesity research. In addition, much of this work is centered around effectiveness-implementation studies aimed at tailoring interventions for use in low-resource settings.
