I am a doctoral student in biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. My advisor is Rui Duan.

My research develops theory and methods for data integration problems in high dimensions. I’m motivated by challenges posed by electronic health records and genotype data, especially pertaining to model shifts across environments and embeddings for heterogeneous temporal data. I’m also interested in minimax testing problems and the philosophy of science.

Before coming to Harvard, I was a mathematics major at the University of Florida, where I explored interests in neuroscience, bioinformatics, and functional programming. I spent a summer working with Tim Randolph at the Fred Hutch in Seattle, WA, and served on the executive board of UF’s Center for Undergraduate Research.
