Biography
Dr. Blaha's research interests span around clinical trials, specifically cluster randomized, pragmatic trials with time-to-event outcomes. Currently, he has two main research topics: (1) Additive model for cluster randomized trials and (2) Exact Platform design for multi-arm, multi-stage trials.
Ondrej is currently an Associate Research Scientist at Yale Center for Analytical Sciences (YCAS). He holds a Ph.D. in Biostatistics from LSU and M.Sc. in Biostatistics from Hasselt University, Belgium. Before joining Yale University, he worked as a senior Biostatistician at Stanford University, School of Medicine.
