She advances data-driven approaches to observational causal inference and integrates cost-effectiveness analysis into healthcare decision-making.

Key research interests include:

• High-dimensional simulation models for policy impact assessment
• Causal identification in complex health systems
• Ethical challenges in clinical trial design involving vulnerable populations
• Optimizing public health responses to infectious disease outbreaks
• Improving maternal and child health outcomes through policy interventions

Her work has informed pandemic preparedness strategies, including vaccination prioritization policies and school reopening frameworks. Dr. Bilinski’s interdisciplinary approach combines epidemiological modeling, economic evaluation, and statistical innovation to address pressing healthcare challenges.
