His clinical-translational research laboratory aims to improve critical illness survivorship and spans three areas of study.

(2) Clinical and epidemiologic research with a focus on clinical risk prediction modeling and health disparities outcomes. (3) Novel palliative care interventions aimed at improving ICU survivorship. For example, chaplain-led communication-board-guided spiritual care for mechanically ventilated patients.
