About Me

I'm a MS/PhD student in the Statistics Department at Colorado State University. My current hobby is photography, you can see some of my work here.

Research Interests and Projects

I have broad interests in modeling and data analysis, to include: graph structured data, bioinformatics, machine learning, agent based models and simulation, and natural language processing.

• I spent a summer as a Data Science for Social Good Fellow, where my team built a system to detect risky traffic behavior in traffic footage for the city of Jakarta, Indonesia.
• My Computer Science MS Thesis with Asa Ben-Hur explored the use of graph convolutional neural networks to predict protein interfaces
• At New Mexico State I evaluated heuristic optimization methods for transition network expansion planning using multivariate methods
• I spent a summer investigating the role of contextual framing in physics education
