Background
Madison is a principal biostatistician in the Center for Biostatistics at The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. With more than 175 articles under his belt, more than 15 of which are first authored publications and more than 50 are second authored publications as the lead statistician, he is a seasoned writer as well as statistician. His first author work has been published each of the top journals of surgery in the United States; where one publication evaluating the association between social determinants of health with adverse postoperative outcomes was the topic of an article featured in the U.S. News and World Report (original article can be found here and the USN & WR article can be found here). Much of his work incorporates machine learning with a focus on optimization.
Prior to joining OSU, Madison worked in Charleston, South Carolina where he was a faculty research instructor at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). While at MUSC, Madison earned co-investigator status on their CTSA as well as on a number of other grants. While in Charleston, Madison also taught statistics at the College of Charleston.
