I am a health researcher with several years of academic and industry experience. My research interests include the invention and application of statistical and computational methods to answer complex health problems. In my pre-doctoral position at Columbia University, I work with Dr. Adler Perotte. Together, we develop novel probabilistic models to support causal claims generated from observational data. Prior to my doctoral candidacy, I completed a masters degree in Biostatistics and Epidemiology at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. Advised by Dr. Stephen Morse, I developed a technique to quantify the economic impact of emergent infectious diseases, and built a statistical model to investigate the motiviating and mitigating factors of these economic damages, using SARS as a case study.
