I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University where I am advised by Dr. Ilya Shpitser. My research interests are in developing statistical and machine learning methods for causal inference: the study of deducing causal quantities from observational data. I am also interested in the applications of causal inference in healthcare, particularly electronic health records (EHR) data, and the social sciences.

I graduated from Williams College in December 2023, receiving a B.A. with Honors in Computer Science and a concentration/minor in French and Francophone studies. I wrote my undergraduate thesis with Professor Rohit Bhattacharya on recovering causal effects under the possibility of confounding bias and self-censoring missing data. My thesis may be accessed here.
