I am an Associate Professor of Statistics in the Department of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. I have a broad background in statistics, with specific expertise in high dimensional, low sample data analysis. I received my Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and joined the Weill Cornell Medicine faculty as an assistant professor in 2015. I conduct independent statistical research and collaborate with clinical investigators in the Center for Global Health. The primary focus of my research is to develop statistical methodologies for studies with a low sample size and hundreds of thousands of covariates. My statistical work has been largely motivated by clinical research applications, particularly in analyzing high throughput data where the number of variables greatly exceeds the sample size such as transcriptomics and metabolomics.

I am a faculty member in the Weill Cornell Center for Global Health where I am the primary statistician for multiple National Institute of Health (NIH) funded R01s. This supports translational and clinical research conducted at our sites in Haiti, Tanzania, India, and Brazil and requires the application of a variety of bio-statistical methodologies. I also mentor postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty conducting research at our Center’s international sites, and graduate students of the Master’s Program in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Services Research in addition to teaching biostatistics in the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences program.
