Biography

I am an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. I obtained my PhD from the Department of Statistics and Data Science, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Dr. Dylan Small. I am broadly interested in causal inference, design and analysis of observational studies, instrumental variables, and applications of statistical tools to public health sciences. My recent interests include vaccine efficacy trials, immune correlates research, cerebral malaria, and health outcomes research in cardiac surgery.

I am the Principal Investigator (PI) on a CFAR New Investigator Award and on NIH/NIAID R01 AI192632, titled “Statistical Methods to Leverage Immunologic Biomarkers and Complex Molecular Testing Data for Respiratory Disease Vaccine Development.”

I also serve as a co-Investigator (co-I) for the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN).
