- I just defended my PhD dissertation (successfully) at the University of Georgia. I work on flu epidemiology and immunology, supervised by Andreas Handel.
- I'm a data scientist, formerly computational epidemiologist. My official degree name is "Epidemiology & Biostatistics with an emphasis in Data Analysis and Modeling". My primary interests are observational study statistics, bayesian hierarchical models, and influenza vaccine immunology.
- Outside of work, I like reading fantasy and horror novels (AKA stats books); some video games; cooking and/or baking; and occasionally hiking.
- R: base, tidyverse, ggplot2, tidymodels, lme4, nlme, mgcv, brms
- Python: base, matplotlib, statsmodels, scikit-learn
- Tech stuff: Stan, LaTeX, spreadsheets, Quarto (and R Markdown)
- Stats stuff: (bayesian) mixed-effects models, machine learning / predictive analytics, data visualization, exploratory data analysis, data cleaning and wrangling, statistical inference, Bayesian methods
