About Me

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Statistics at Iowa State University. My current research focuses on creating statistical tools to process, visualize, and analyze large-scale spatio-temporal transportation data. I also have experience in creating new statistical methods for analyzing golf hole scores and building predictive models for agricultural data. I’m enthusiastic about collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to deliver data-driven insights and power decision-making!
