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/).


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.

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).

Other general topics that interest me include:

* 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/paint1.png" width="25"> I love [painting](https://www.instagram.com/selina.carter.art), especially portraits. I have taken art classes from an early age at the Maine College of Art and from various artists in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

* <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.

* <img src="/images/chicken.png" width="25"> I love raising pet chickens. I grew up on a farm in Maine and I sold eggs to neighbors. I also had a [pet chicken](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvbMS_YSOF0) in Mozambique.
