I am a Data Scientist working under Dr. Brenda Curtis in the Technology and Translational Research Unit. I received my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania working under H. Andrew Schwartz and Lyle Ungar. My primary research interest is community centered NLP: developing geo-spatial NLP methods to measure relationships between individuals and their communities using social media language. I'm also interested in machine learning applications to substance use and recovery.

Finally, I am a father, a first generation / low income (FGLI) student, and a community college graduate. Please reach out if you'd like to talk about similar PhD experiences.
