I am an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology in the Preventive Medicine and Biostatistics Department at Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, MD.

My research focuses on 1) understanding and improving data collection and management using non-randomized studies, and 2) conducting rigorous population-level infectious disease studies. My long-term goal is the study of population-level data and the application of epidemiology, biostatistics, and data science to answer questions about infectious disease transmission and risk, while building strong research and training programs for future leaders in these areas.

Before joining USU, I was chief of the Epidemiology and Data Management Unit in the Division of Intramural Research at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. I continue to serve as the principal investigator of NIAID's study evaluating the immune response to COVID-19 vaccines in individuals with immune disorders. 

​

I received my PhD in epidemiology from the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute at the University of Basel (2018), my MSc in molecular microbiology and immunology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (2012), and my BS in Biology from Allegheny College (2009).
