Melody Owen

Melody is a fifth year Ph.D. Candidate in Biostatistics. Before coming to Yale, she worked as a biostatistician conducting network meta-analyses for clinical trial data. Melody earned a Master's in Statistics from Carnegie Mellon University, and a Bachelor's from Amherst College where she double majored in mathematics and statistics. Her work focuses on study design methodology for cluster randomized trials with co-primary outcomes and hybrid type 2 studies. She is also conducting research in causal inference methodology for cluster randomized trials, which includes mediation analysis and spillover with the presence of non-compliance. Melody's goal is to utilize the growing field of implementation science to expand the field of animal public health, solving animal welfare issues and improving animal health policies.
