I am currently a PhD candidate in Bioengineering at Stanford University, advised by Dr. Dennis Wall. I research biomedical data science techniques for psychiatry and behavioral sciences, utilizing techniques from and innovating in crowdsourcing healthcare, applied machine learning, computational psychiatry, translational bioinformatics, human-computer interaction, and mobile/wearable systems.

I have several academic interests and my thesis work therefore spans the engineering, design, scientific, algorithmic, psychological, and clinical questions associated with developing new technologies to transform psychiatry therapeutic interventions and diagnostics.
