About me

I am a clinical biostatistician at the National Institute of Mental Health, where I lead human subjects research in the UNCL. Before that, I completed my PhD in Computational Neuroscience at Princeton University supervised by Yael Niv and Nathaniel Daw.

In my research, I develop and validate cognitive/survey assessments for use in psychiatric phenotypying and clinical trials. To do so, I use a variety of statistical methods including Bayesian data analysis, cognitive modeling, reinforcement learning, item response theory, and structural equation modeling.
