About

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Industrial Engineering at the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. My research focuses on data-driven modeling and decision-making in health systems, drawing on applied statistics and causal inference with health and demographic data.

Before my Ph.D., I studied Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Economics at Emory University, and worked with the health services research team at the American Cancer Society.

Research interests: data-driven decision making in health systems, machine learning, causal inference.
