Draft:Inbal Nahum-Shani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inbal Billie Nahum-Shani is a researcher and academic serving as Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.[1] She is also the Director of the Data Science for Dynamic Decision-Making Center (d3c) at the U-M Institute for Social Research.[2]

Research Focus

[edit]

Inbal Billie Nahum-Shani's research focuses on developing and applying behavioral theory and innovative methodologies to construct adaptive interventions. These interventions aim to modify the type, timing, dose, or delivery mode of support to meet the unique and evolving needs of individuals.[3] Her work is particularly notable for leveraging digital technology to adapt intervention delivery in real-time within individuals' daily lives.[4]

Leadership

[edit]

As the Director of the Data Science for Dynamic Decision-making Center (d3c), Nahum-Shani leads various funded projects, including an NIH/NIDA funded P50 Center of Excellence.[5] This center is dedicated to developing novel experimental designs and data analytic methods to adapt and personalize services for drug use and HIV.[6]

Research Interests

[edit]

Nahum-Shani's primary research interests involve utilizing behavioral theory and novel methodologies to develop adaptive interventions. These interventions use ongoing information about individuals to modify the type, intensity, or delivery mode of support.[7] Her work focuses on developing and extending experimental designs, including Factorial Designs,[8] Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials (SMARTs),[9] Micro-Randomized Trials (MRTs),[10] and Hybrid Experimental Designs (HEDs).[11]
