Biography : 

I am a postdoctoral fellow currently working with Professor Patrick Brown (UofT) and Professor Laura Cowen (UVic).

My current research projects include working with electronic health data to enumerate homeless populations using capture-recapture, quantifying COVID spread among homeless populations and exploring disparities in service access for marginalized groups. I am also working on quantifying the temperature and air pollution effects on mortality and health using case-crossover models.

Other research interests include statistics education and pedagogy, and quasi-random number generation and quasi-Monte Carlo methods for numerical integration.
