Bio
Hello! I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin advised by Mevin Hooten. My research focuses on developing scientifically interpretable and computationally efficient statistical methods for spatio-temporal data in ecology, environmental science, epidemiology, and landscape genomics. My doctoral studies are funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.
