Bio
Hello! I'm a doctoral student in the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin advised by Mevin Hooten. My research focuses on agent-based models, spatiotemporal statistics, infectious disease dynamics, quantitative ecology, and biostatistics. My doctoral studies are funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.
