Bio:

Rochelle Tractenberg is a tenured associate professor at Georgetown University. Her primary appointment is in the Department of Neurology, and she has secondary appointments in the Departments of Biostatistics, Bioinformatics & Biomathematics and Rehabilitation Medicine. A professional biostatistician since 1997 and psychometrician since 2009, she earned a PhD in cognitive sciences/psychology from the University of California, Irvine (1997), a MPH emphasizing biostatistics and biometry from the California State University at San Diego (2002), and a PhD in Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation from the University of Maryland, College Park (2009). Her biomedical research interests are in measurement and outcomes in challenging biomedical contexts (e.g., estimating change in “cognitive function”; testing measurement invariance for complex neuropsychological constructs) and clinical trial design that features these challenging outcomes. She is also an active scholar of teaching and learning, focusing on cognitive theoretic contributions to learning in graduate and postgraduate education, and instruction in statistics and research ethics in particular. She is the Vice-Chair of the Committee on Professional Practice of the American Statistical Association.
