I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health. I received my Ph.D. in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2024 under the supervision of Peter Song. My dissertation committee members were Bhramar Mukherjee, Gongjun Xu, and Walter Dempsey. During my time at Michigan, I worked as a research assistant for Goncalo Abecasis (2019-20) and Cathie Spino (2020-23).
In addition to my appointment at Pitt, I serve as a Research Biostatistician at the Center for Healthcare Evaluation, Research, and Promotion (CHERP) within the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. CHERP is a Center of Innovation (COIN) dedicated to understanding and improving health and healthcare outcomes to support the VA in providing excellent care and service to all Veterans.
My research agenda focuses on developing scalable and flexible
statistical models for the design and analysis of data linked to
biomedical as well as social studies and health policy. I leverage both
Bayesian methods and classical semi- and non-parametric approaches to
navigate complex data structures. I also maintain a strong focus on
statistical computing, developing efficient software packages (such as
fastMI and
SEIRfansy)
to make robust methodological frameworks accessible for applied
analysis.
