About Me

I am a PhD student in Jonathan Pritchard's lab at Stanford University. I am broadly interested in statistical and population genetics.

I have recently been thinking about the relationship between gene dosage and complex traits. We introduced the concept of the gene dosage response curve, which is a conceptual tool to think about these relationships using population-level or experimental data.

I was previously a Master's student with Emma Davenport, where I worked on using functional genomics to better understand sepsis. As an undergraduate student, I worked with David Aylor on mouse quantitative genetics and Gregory Carter on statistical genetics approaches in Alzheimer's disease cohorts.
