I am a Statistics Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) advised by Dr. Padhraic Smyth. I’m interested in addressing problems at the intersection of statistics and AI/ML, with a focus on improving how they’re applied in practical, real-world settings. Some of my key areas of interest include testing and evaluation practices, ethics and governance, and uncertainty quantification. I am also passionate about data-centric issues in AI/ML and served as a data curator and librarian for the UCI Machine Learning Repository for much of my time at UCI.
I received my Master’s degree in Statistics from UCI in 2021, and my Bachelor’s degree in Applied and Computational Mathematics, with a specialization in Computer Programming, from the University of Southern California in 2019.
