RESEARCH

My current research aims to improve our understanding of cardiometabolic health, by identifying subtypes of disease or characterizing subgroups of individuals at high risk. I currently co-lead the EGDRC Diabetes Translational Accelerator to support PhD students and Advisors in launching their doctoral dissertation as a startup.

I draw on my research and project experiences in consulting, nutrition, data science, and mental health to holistically engage with public health problems in low-, middle- and high-income countries. I enjoy collaborating with clinicians, academics, startups, and non-profits to develop data-driven solutions that move us closer to solving these tough problems.

STUDENTS

I enjoy working with driven and curious Undergraduate, Masters and Doctoral students. Given the nature of the projects I work on, some prior coursework and demonstrating proficiency in programming is ideal. I am happy to meet and discuss how we can work together.
