Xiaoxiao Ling
Researcher in Health Economics Methodology
I joined the team in November, 2023, as a Researcher in Health Economics. I develop and apply statistical methodology for complex economic and longitudinal outcomes in trials and cohort studies, with interests in Bayesian modelling, missing data, measurement error and study design.
Before joining the group, I had my PhD study at the Department of Statistical Science at UCL. My research topic was addressing item-level missingness in trial-based cost-effectiveness analyses with multi-item questionnaires and longitudinal follow-up. Prior to that, I worked as a Research Associate in Health Economics at King’s Health Economics, King’s College London. There, I contributed to projects related to domestic abuse and mental health.
