Luis Ledesma

I am currently working as a Statistical Analyst at the National Coordinating Centre (NCC) for the CHILD Cohort Study. My current research interests include longitudinal data analysis, survival analysis and irregularly observed data. Previously, I was a Master’s student in Biostatistics at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health (DLSPH), where I worked under the supervision of Dr. Eleanor Pullenayegum at The Hospital for Sick Children. During my time at DLSPH, I was also working as an RA at the Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases, under the supervision of Dr. Shaza Fadel, on a project examining perception of risk and vaccine uptake for a post-secondary cohort of students.

Previously, I completed my undergraduate degree in Math at McGill University, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Dmitry Jakobson. I have also worked as a research analyst and biostatistics consultant at Centro Nacional de Epidemiologia, Prevencion y Control de Enfermedades (CDC-Peru), where I explored statistical modelling and data visualization of the COVID-19 epidemic in Peru.

Outside of work, you’ll find me biking around Toronto, visiting record stores and trying out local craft beers at breweries.
