About
I am a Ph.D. student in Carnegie Mellon’s Statistics & Data Science department. In May 2024, I graduated from Pomona College with a double major in mathematics and philosophy. At Pomona, I conducted statistical genomics and data science ethics pedagogy research with Jo Hardin.
Broadly, I am working on methods development and applied questions to uncover latent structures, such as network and text data. I am working with Nynke Niezink and Eva Jaspers to study structural dependencies in classroom avoidance networks and how a student’s tendency to avoid others and be avoided relates to their position in the friendship network. I am also working with Eli Ben-Michael on developing a method that leverages multiple measurements to estimate latent variables from text data. More information on my current and previous research projects can be found on my research page.
Another interest of mine is teaching statistics and data science and education-related research. In Summer 2026, I am co-instructing Carnehie Mellon’s Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Statistics: Sports Analytics Camp (CMSACamp). CMSACamp is an eight-week research program that focuses on statistics and data science methodology with applications in sports analytics. A list of my previous teaching experiences and education-related research projects can be found on my teaching page.
