I am a Statistics PhD student, supervised by Dr. Yongjin Park and Dr. Benjamin Bloem-Reddy. I am mainly interested in applying and developing methods that help characterize underlying structures in biological data sets, for example using causal inference. Before the start of the PhD, I spent a year as a research assistant at the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London where I collaborated with the Malawi Ministry of Health. Our team provided HIV modelling tools to support stakeholders with their policy decisions such as selecting new locations for health facilities for people living with HIV. During my MSc studies, I also worked on identifying the origins of drug resistant malaria in South East Asia using community detection in network analysis.

Outside of my studies, I enjoy watching movies or discovering new restaurants. I also play the piano from time to time when the opportunity arises.

Research interests:

• Causal Inference
