I’m interested in how computer science and applied mathematics can be used in conservation and OneHealth contexts. Since joining the lab in my freshman year, I’ve written code in multiple computer languages for epidemiological modeling projects, performed wildlife necropsies for the purpose of sample collection, and bothered both graduate students and post-docs with way too many animal memes.
