Overview

I am an Assistant Professor of Clinical Population and Public Health Sciences in the Division of Biostatistics at the University of Southern California. I received a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from the University of California, Riverside in 2015. I then went on to complete my graduate work at the University of California, Irvine, where I received an M.S in Statistics in 2017 and a Ph.D. in Statistics in 2020. My research interests include clinical trials and the development of robust statistical methodology for efficient sampling designs. I am particularly interested in biomedical applications in Alzheimer’s disease and pediatric oncology.
