Iordan Slavov, Ph.D., Senior Statistical Analyst joined the Center for Home Policy and Research in September of 2007. At the Center, he is leading the compilation, analysis and interpretation of complex data regarding healthcare, clinical and utilization issues. Integral to Dr. Slavov’s role is developing research design and methodology and implementing protocol for efficient data collection and statistical analysis. Some specific projects he is involved in are: a) the creation of accurate predictive models for personnel retention and for the risk of hospitalization or developing a wound; b) evaluation of health monitoring data; c) data mining of the VNSNY data.

Prior to joining the Center, Dr. Slavov was a programmer and analyst in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center, where he was primarily responsible for preparing statistical results sections for clinical study reports. His own research included modifying statistical models to better fit clinical trials design. He also designed and implemented several databases and the user interface to them, and automated the processes of data loading and reports creation.

A native of Bulgaria, Dr. Slavov received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Sofia University in Bulgaria in 1991. He earned two Masters Degrees from Columbia University: Mathematics in Finance degree in 2003 and Statistics degree in 2005. Dr. Slavov is an adjunct professor in mathematics at Fordham University.
