About
I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Biostatistics at Brown University, with academic training in mathematics, statistics, and computational methods. I have recently competed my M.S. in Statistics at Arizona State University, on the accelerated academic track. My B.S. is in Mathematics (Statistics) also at Arizona State University. My research spans Bayesian modeling, causal inference, machine learning, and applications in biomedicine—particularly in neuroimaging, protein structure analysis, and clinical diagnostics. I am especially drawn to problems in public health, epidemiology, predictive modeling, uncertainty quantification, and statistical decision-making. I am eager to seek international opportunities and collaborations in these research areas.

Vision for the Future
As I begin my Ph.D. in Biostatistics, I aim to advance flexible and interpretable Bayesian methods for real-world health applications. My goal is to bridge theory and practice in service of population health and clinical decision-making, while exploring international opportunities and mentoring the next generation of statistical scientists.
