Nashville, Tennessee, United States

- Served as a statistician for the ACTIV-6 clinical trial: a decentralized, randomized, placebo-controlled platform trial evaluating repurposed therapies for patients with COVID-19. Conducted the interim analyses and created reproducible reports for the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB).- Developed methodology and R packages for the analysis of ordinal longitudinal data within a Bayesian framework. Published a first-author tutorial paper in Statistics in Medicine.- Led discussion sections and provided 1-on-1 assistance as a teaching assistant for multiple graduate courses. Received the 2022 Distinguished Teaching Assistant award for "excellence in teaching and a dedication to peer education".

- Gained in-depth knowledge on oncology drug development and regulatory policy though this fellowship between the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence and the American Statistical Association.- Attended lectures and discussions lead by FDA statisticians and clinical reviewers on topics including clinical endpoints / estimands, multiplicity correction / subgroup analyses, Real-World Evidence, safety and efficacy data monitoring, and adaptive / Bayesian designs.- Participated in case study discussions involving past FDA Oncology Advisory Committee meetings.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

- Applied Bayesian hierarchical modeling methods to analyze adverse event rates in platform trials for gene therapies.- Published work as first-author in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics- Assisted with statistical analysis plan (SAP) review for ongoing clinical trials.- Created an R package and wrote Stan code to fit EXNEX Bayesian hierarchical models.

Silver Spring, Maryland, United States

- Conducted an analysis of 37 phase II and III clinical trials to address safety concerns regarding the use of direct-acting antivirals for Hepatitis C. Published research as first author and was awarded the FDA/CDER best poster award from the ORISE program.- Collaborated on an analysis of 9 clinical trials to determine novel clinical endpoints for immunological non-responders after HIV antiretroviral therapy. Standardized / cleaned data and collaborated with FDA Office of Biostatistics on statistical modeling of longitudinal outcomes.- Analyzed phase III clinical trial data with FDA clinical review staff in support of the approval of new PrEP medications for HIV prevention. Created data summaries and visualizations for the clinical review document and FDA advisory committee presentations, and produced dashboards for interactive data display using R Shiny.- Implemented an analysis of next-generation sequencing data using Biopython to differentiate between Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes in infected patients.

Silver Spring, Maryland

- Created a Python-based natural-language processing tool to map medical terms within drug product labels to the SNOMED-CT medical ontology. Developed a web-based user interface in Flask and deployed it for use within the FDA Office of New Drugs.- Pooled and standardized adverse event data from over 5,000 clinical trials to identify key areas where sponsors are not in compliance with CDISC data standards and provided recommendations to improve quality of sponsor-submitted data.- Implemented a machine-learning classifier to classify FDA meeting-minute documents into a hierarchy of topics to reduce the need for manual labeling.

Washington Dc

- Attended and reported on events related to science policy in Washington DC (e.g., congressional hearings, think-tank seminars, scientific society meetings) for publication in a weekly newsletter for the MIT administration.- Researched and wrote reports with senior staff on science policy topics relevant to MIT, including a long-form report on autonomous vehicle policy.

Northfield Mn

- Mentored students in introductory and upper level physics courses (e.g., Quantum Mechanics, Special Relativity, and Electricity & Magnetism).- Assisted students during laboratory sections with experimental techniques, mathematical derivations, and data analysis.- Graded problem sets, laboratory reports, and quizzes.- Started an initiative for students to provide anonymous feedback to teaching assistants to better understand the needs of students and improve teaching methods.

Northfield Mn

- Conducted research with Dr. Nelson Christensen as a member of the Laser-Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) Detector Characterization team.- Analyzed magnetically induced noise in the LIGO detector channels by writing automated signal processing tools in Python to determine the effect of magnetic transients on gravitational-wave detection.- Published part of my research as an coauthor on a journal article in Classical and Quantum Gravity detailing the effects of Schumann resonances on gravitational-wave detection.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

- Analyzed long-period seismic noise using spectral analysis as part of the 2016 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) internship.- Conducted experiments by installing arrays of broadband seismometers in the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory testing vault to characterize the seismic background noise.- Developed automated data analysis workflows using Python and created data visualizations to understand the characteristics of long-period noise across seismic arrays.- Published research as first author in Seismological Research Letters and gave a poster presentation at the 2016 American Geophysical Union annual meeting.

Coldigioco, Italy

- Conducted research to date the carbonate stratigraphy of the Bartonian-Priabonian boundary using terrestrial laser scanning and cyclostratigraphic techniques.- Collected the laser scanning data and wrote MatLab scripts to detect orbital cycles using Fourier transform methods.- Presented my research at the 2015 Osservatorio Geologico di Coldigioco research symposium.

Northfield Mn

- Worked with Dr. Bill Titus as a summer 2014 research fellow to model subsurface gravitational anomalies for geophysical research.- Created simulations in C and Mathematica, and derived analytical results.- Delivered a poster presentation at the 2014 Carleton & St. Olaf summer research symposium.
