Biography

I am an Incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics at Emory University (starting Fall 2024), working at the nexus of human genetics, computation, and statistics to discover and characterize disease associated genetic variation. Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar working jointly with Jonathan Pritchard (Stanford, Genetics) and Alexis Battle (Johns Hopkins, Biomedical Engineering), and then an Assistant Research Scientist in the Battle Lab. I completed a PhD in the Biostatistics department of the University of Michigan, where I was advised by Goncalo Abecasis. At Michigan, my contributions included analysis of somatic variation called from whole genomes generated by the NHLBI TOPMed consortium.
