I am currently a Ph.D. student in statistics at [Carnegie Mellon University](https://www.cmu.edu/dietrich/statistics-datascience/index.html) (cohort of 2021). Before joining CMU, I worked at the [Inter-American Development Bank](https://www.iadb.org/en) as a data scientist in Washington, D.C. Simultaneously, I completed a master’s degree in mathematics and statistics at [Georgetown University](https://mathstat.georgetown.edu/graduate/).
I am currently a Ph.D. student in statistics at [Carnegie Mellon University](https://www.cmu.edu/dietrich/statistics-datascience/index.html) (cohort of 2021). Before joining CMU, I worked as a [data scientist](/cv/) in Washington, D.C. Simultaneously, I completed a master’s degree in mathematics and statistics at [Georgetown University](https://mathstat.georgetown.edu/graduate/). I have a background in [international development](/cv/).


My primary area of interest is **uncertainty quantification (UQ)** on temporal data using recurrent neural networks, with applications to nuclear fusion and natural disaster management. This is the subject of my research in summer 2024, which is funded by the [AI Institute for Societal Decision Making (AI-SDM)](https://www.cmu.edu/ai-sdm/index.html). I am advised by [Arun Kuchibhotla](https://arun-kuchibhotla.github.io/), whose expertise includes forecasting methods and prediction intervals for temporal and online datasets.

Other general topics that interest me include:

* Recurrent neural network (RNN) architectures and implementations - especially with a probabilistic outcome
* Recurrent neural network (RNN) architectures and implementations--especially with a probabilistic outcome
* Time-series forecasting and online prediction
* Reinforcement learning
* Applications to international development - such as natural disaster management using drone imagery

* <img src="/images/girlrun.png" width="25"> I like to run. I used to run cross-country. Pittsburgh has excellent hills, which is one reason I chose CMU. I also sometimes play pick-up soccer.
