OverviewAI-generated summary
Lekshmi Sasidharan's research centers on the statistical analysis of traffic safety data, with a particular focus on pedestrian and motorcycle crash severities. She has investigated the application of advanced statistical models, such as the partial proportional odds model and latent class cluster analysis, to understand injury severity in traffic incidents. Sasidharan has also explored the use of propensity scores to evaluate the effectiveness of traffic safety interventions, including intersection lighting. Her work includes examining the relationship between traffic safety and geometric design consistency based on vehicle speed metrics. Additionally, her research portfolio includes studies on the prognostic value of oxygenation index in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and the impact of leaf trichomes on insect growth and development.
