About Me

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Emory University. My dissertation research focuses on phylodynamic modeling which reconstructs infectious disease outbreaks while accounting for the full genetic diversity of the pathogen population present. I also have a particular interest in computational scalability, high-dimension data imputation via data-augmentation MCMC, and pathogen genomic data. My dissertation advisors are Max Lau and Lance Waller. I am interested in infectious disease modeling, agent-based modeling, and statistical software + computation.

I regularly collaborate with researchers across the schools of medicine and public health, and I have 5+ years of experience as a collaborative biostatistician.
