About

Biography

As a biostatistician, epidemiologist and geospatial data scientist, I specialize in informatics and machine learning, with applications to population-level environmental, community and health outcome data.

I have been a researcher for more than eight years and began working at Cincinnati Children’s in 2016.

BS: Biomedical Engineering, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, 2010

PhD: University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, 2016

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH, 2017

Interests

Developing new methods and technologies to support environmental and population health research; tools for geocoding and geomarker assessment; high resolution spatiotemporal exposure assessment models; causal inference machine learning methods; roles of environmental exposures; community characteristics on pediatric psychiatric health; electronic health records, observational cohort studies, clinical registries, and vital records.
