I am a 5th year PhD candidate in applied mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder, supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
My research applies a wide range of techniques from data science — from statistics and mathematical modeling to surveys and experimentation — toward the study of complex social systems, ranging from academic careers to human rights. My advisor is Aaron Clauset.
During my PhD, I was a (2x) research intern with the MSR NYC Computational Social Science group and a Data Science & Human Rights Fellow with HRDAG. Previously, I worked as a software consultant at Pivotal Labs, a software engineer at multiple startups including on a DARPA project, and as a Data Science for Social Good Fellow at the University of Chicago.
I am organizing to improve public higher education with my labor union, United Campus Workers Colorado, and currently serving my second term on the Executive Board of CWA 7799.
