“Like Moneyball for healthcare”

I’m a Firefighter and Human Services Professional turned Data Scientist interested in statistical approaches to understanding and optimizing biomedical systems large and small. My goal is to conduct research that leads to more efficient use of resources, more personalized care, and that reduces friction and suffering.

I’m currently pursing a PhD in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences, where I am advised by Wesley Marrero of the Operations Research Group. My research focuses on finding optimal policy-level treatment strategies for opioid use disorder treatment using reinforcement learning as well as traditional biostatistics. I’m also working on more general epidemiological projects related to disparities in access to medication for opioid use disorder.

Before starting my doctorate, I worked at Mass General Hospital evaluating biomarkers in the Alzheimer’s Clinical & Translational Research Unit and the Cardiovascular Research Center.

I also taught an introductory class in the Bioinformatics MS program at Northeastern University.

When I’m not doing science-y stuff, I play RPGs or make cartoons.
