I’m a neuroscientist, statistical consultant, and software developer whose current research focus is cellular senescence and neurodegeneration in the context of aging, disease, and spaceflight. I currently serve as the communications coordinator for the Brain AWG.

My PhD is in mathematical and computational psychological sciences (clinical-cognitive neuroscience focus), my MS is in clinical psychology, and my BA is in political science (philosophy of science and medicine track). I work at the intersection of genetics, bioinformatics, pathology, and immunology and specialize in spatial transcriptomics; other methods I frequently use include single-cell multi-omics, CRISPR, machine learning classification, factor (mixture) models, multilevel modeling, and simulation-based power analysis.

I tend to operate in interdisciplinary spaces, with a common thread of advancing both basic and translational research using specialized quantitative approaches, scientific software, and technology.
