​Joshua R. Nugent, PhD, is a biostatistician at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research. His research focuses on causal inference methods with a particular interest in leveraging semiparametric statistics and machine learning to efficiently estimate policy-relevant effects. Recent projects include the evaluation of randomized trials to reduce the incidence of HIV and TB in settings with complex clustered data and observational studies examining risk factors for COVID-19 infection. Dr. Nugent received his PhD in biostatistics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Before earning his doctorate, he served as a public high school math teacher for eight years.
