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. My full CV is available here.

Initially, I joined the Bansal Lab as a Research Associate in 2021 after graduating from Bowdoin College where I studied math and biology. For my undergraduate thesis, advised by Professors Mohammad Irfan and Mary Lou Zeeman, I developed a dynamic disease-behavior network model that incorporated perceived risk and social influence.

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