About Me

I am a statistician working at the intersection of spatial statistics, extreme value theory, and public health.

I recently received my PhD in Statistics & Operations Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I was advised by Richard L. Smith. My dissertation develops scalable methods for spatial extreme value data fusion, with applications to coastal hazard projection under a changing climate.

Throughout my doctoral studies, I worked concurrently as a statistician in the Department of Biostatistics & Data Science at the Wake Forest School of Medicine, where my work spans opioid misuse surveillance, clinical trials, and statistical consulting.

My research interests include

• Spatial Extreme Value Theory
• Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling
• Scalable Gaussian Processes
• Spatial Data Fusion
• Environmental Extremes and Public Health
• Spatial Epidemiology
