I obtained my Ph.D. in Statistics (Spring 2025) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, under the supervision of Professor Cécile Ané. My dissertation was on Statistical and Computational Techniques for Continuous Trait Models on Phylogenetic networks.

I have a B.S. in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science (Spring 2017) from Carnegie Mellon University. I worked for a year as a Research Programmer for Murphy Lab in the Computational Biology Department at CMU before coming to Madison for my Ph.D. in Fall 2018.

My research is in Statistical & Computational Phylogenetics. I am interested in models for continuous trait evolution, and in computational techniques that make parameter estimation for these models scalable to complex phylogenetic networks.
