About me

Hello! I’m a second-year PhD student in Biology in the Bansal Lab at Georgetown University. My research is focused on the interplay between behavior and infectious disease, including how disease-relevant behaviors (such as contact patterns, vaccination, and mask wearing) vary across space, time, individuals, populations, and disease states.

I am an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and a member of the MIDAS Trainee Network Executive Committee. My full CV is available here.

Outside the lab, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes, playing ice hockey, and riding my bike along the Potomac.
