I earned my PhD in Mathematics from West Virginia University in 2014, then spent three years at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a postdoc before joining Northern Arizona University (NAU). My research interests span statistical inference for dynamical systems, graph theory, network science, and the analysis and modeling of bioinformatics and systems biology data.

My research experience includes:

·       Bayesian Approach to inverse problems, and its application in epidemiology forecast with a focus on diseases such as COVID-19 and flu.

·       Raw sequencing data processing, statistical analysis, pathway analysis, network modeling for various sequencing methods, including DNA, mRNA, miRNA, scRNA, 16s rRNA, and proteomics.

·       Hybrid dynamical systems modeling for biomolecular networks.

·       Land carbon cycle modeling.

·       Graph coloring, graph connectivity.
