Welcome! I am a pediatric infectious diseases physician at the University of Washington /Seattle Children’s Hospital and a research associate at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in the Schiffer and Bedford labs. My research sits at the intersection of genomic epidemiology, infectious disease modeling, and public health. I study the spread of viruses and other infectious diseases, and my goal is to better understand how pathogens evolve and adapt in response to public health interventions. My work currently is focused on respiratory viruses such as RSV and SARS-CoV-2, and I have previously investigated spatial disparities in health outcomes. Ultimately, my goal as a researcher is to use mathematics and statistics to improve the health of populations, and I am excited to collaborate on projects towards the goal.
This site houses much of my research and papers, with links to code where available. Open and reproducible research is very important to me, so please reach out if there are any questions regarding my methods or code. My blog ρ = 0 carries posts regarding data science, statistics, and medicine, that may be “uncorrelated” to my research. Expect anything there, from cool papers I am excited about to using regression models to vent about the Chicago Bulls. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about my work or ideas for collaboration.
