about
I'm a PhD candidate in the Visual Analytics Lab at Tufts, working with Professor Remco Chang. I work in a variety of areas within visual analytics, but focus on the use of machine learning for human interpretable dimensionality reduction. I also have a strong interest in software engineering and computer science education. My CV is available here.
I completed my undergrad at Oberlin College, where I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and Economics. I was awarded honors in both departments for my two theses: Modeling and High Performance Computing; an MPI Expansion of Nova, and The Effect of District Size on Student Performance, a Story from Illinois. On my way to a PhD, I've completed my masters degree in computer science at Tufts.

hobbies
Always down to talk about the the three B's: brewing, board games, or bread. I brew beer from time to time, but am mostly into brewing hard cider at the moment. As far as board games go, social deduction games are my favorite, but I'm also up to hunker down for a game of TI4. I've been trying to perfect my sourdough boule since 2016 and am always looking for tips on the perfect crumb. Below I have some photos from some of the things I enjoy spending time on. As you can tell, photography is not one them.
