I am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, with appointments in the Department of Biology and the Center for International Security and Cooperation. I received my PhD from the University of California Berkeley, where my interdisciplinary work was largely conducted under the Divisions of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the School of Public Health (dissertation: Modeling and Optimization for Climate-Aware Genetic Biocontrol in Public Health). I hold one MS in Energy and Resources with a focus on environmental economics and a second MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences with a focus on biosystems and computational biology, both from UC Berkeley. My BA is from the College of William and Mary.
