Research experience
Research Assistant, UVA Biocomplexity Institute
Mentor: Anil Vullikanti
2022-2023
- Worked with a multidisciplinary team to study measles outbreak dynamics in Virginia zipcodes.
- Integrated infection count and geospatial human mobility data through model calibration for scenario analysis.
- Implemented high-dimensional Bayesian optimization techniques in Python using PyTorch/BOTorch to identify counterfactual scenarios 100 times more severe compared to baseline estimates.
- Presented findings in a 10 minute talk at the 2022 Computing for Global Challenges (C4GC) student symposium.
