Rate My Professor Emily Karahalios

Emily Karahalios specializes in statistical methods for systematic reviews, including pairwise and network meta-analysis, and the synthesis of data with rare outcomes. She leads research in these areas and collaborates on interdisciplinary projects, such as the integration of biostatistics and mathematical modelling to accelerate malaria elimination. Key publications include "Change in body size and mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis" (International Journal of Epidemiology, 2017), "An investigation of the impact of using contrast- and arm-synthesis models for network meta-analysis" (Research Synthesis Methods), "A comparison of arm-based and contrast-based models for network meta-analysis" (Statistics in Medicine, 2021), and her contribution to the PRISMA 2020 statement (2021). She has received the Early Career Award for Teaching Excellence from the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health and an Early Career Researcher Grant from the University of Melbourne. Her methodological work influences biostatistical practices in evidence synthesis and public health research across multiple domains.
