Research Statement

I am broadly interested in how we combine complex datasets including tabular, geospatial, and textual data, with significant missingness, to address complex issues. Having worked with a variety of complex transportation data, crime data, and electronic healthcare records of patients in critical care. I am deeply committed to addressing social, ethical, political, and environmental problems through the power of data science and believe that addressing these issues requires drawing insights across datasets.
