I'm an infectious disease modeler interested in statistical modeling, forecasting, real-time analysis and open source tool development.

Currently:

• Data Scientist at the CDC's Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics
• Working on:
  • 🚽 Developing methods and tooling for inference and forecasting using wastewater viral concentration data and hospital admissions
    • 🔨 developing R package for wastewaster-informed forecasting
    • 📈 evaluating forecast performance with and without wastewater data
  • ☕ Using daily: R,stan

A bit about me:

• 🏢 2023- Data scientist at the CDC's Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics
• 🏢 2021-2023 Data analyst at The Rockefeller Foundation’s Pandemic Prevention Institute, developing models and tooling for nowcasting variant prevalence dynamics globally + other public
• 🏢 2020-2021 Postdoc in infectious disease modeling at UT’s COVID-19 Modeling Consortium supervised by Lauren Ancel Meyers
• 📚 2016-2020 PhD at the University of Texas at Austin on integrating single-cell sequencing and cancer cell population dynamics data supervised by Amy Brock and Tom Yankeelov
• 📚 2012-2016 BS at Georgetown University studying biophysics
• 🔆 Generally passionate about wastewater-based epidemiology, partial pooling/hierarchical modeling, viral variant dynamics, cost-effectiveness analysis, integration of disparate data sources
• 🌎 Learning more about package/software development, cloud computing, CI/CD, all the things to improve open science/reproducibility
