I am an Associate Professor of statistics and data science at the University of San Francisco in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

I have a broad background and broad interests in statistics, biostatistics, and data science with expertise in the modeling and analysis of complex network data with applications to social and functional neuroimaging data. I am particularly interested in understanding the interplay between social dynamics, neuro-biological systems, aging, behavior, and disease. My research has been partially funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. See my Research page for more details of my past and ongoing work.

I received my Ph.D in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research under the advisement of Professors Shankar Bhamidi and Andrew Nobel at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
