Biography

I am a graduate student in Biostatistics at the University of Minnesota. My research focuses on developing statistical methods to address challenges in infectious disease and health inequities, with particular interests in causal discovery and network analysis. I am also an ISRDI Summer Fellow for 2025.

Looking ahead, I hope to stay engaged with the latest topics and developments in the LCC and MCC fields, and to contribute cutting-edge, trustworthy methodologies that can have a greater impact on the research community.

Research Interests

My current project contributes to developing causal discovery methods, focusing on assessing the performance of causal discovery algorithms to ensure trustworthy results. This work aligns closely with methodologies applied in MPC and LCC fields, where cause-and-effect relationships are investigated. I'm also a summer fellow 2025 at ISRDI.
