About Me
I am a PhD student at UC Irvine studying Statistics. I love using my domain knowledge and computational skills to better understand the world around me, in both a personal and professional context. I'm currently working to formalize new statistical methods that combine existing efficiency frameworks with applications to biomarker discovery for Alzheimer's Disease.
