I recently completed my PhD from the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Irvine, under the supervision of Padhraic Smyth. During my time at UCI, I was an organizer and instructor for the UCI Data Science Initiative. I was also heavily involved in the Center for Statistics and Applications in Forensic Evidence. My research interests include machine learning and applied statistics with an emphasis on user-behavior modeling and anomaly detection.

I am currently working as a Machine Learning Researcher at Obsidian Security. Previously, I've done research internships at Cylance and Obsidian Security. My undergraduate studies were in Mathematics at South Dakota State University.

News: My work was recently featured in the October 2020 issue of Significance magazine! Check out the article here (second page).
