Background
Currently a Machine Learning Research Scientist at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH/NIH), developing statistical and machine learning methods.
Research interests include biostatistics, machine learning, optimization, neuroscience, and chemical dependence.
PhD research focused on transfer learning methodologies, particularly domain generalization and multi-source domain adaptation with multiple training datasets.
At NIH, works on functional data analysis and causal inference methods.
Actively collaborates with clinicians, neuroscientists, and mental health researchers on statistical projects.
