Research with Undergraduate Students

During my graduate career, I worked with several undergraduates on two summer projects as part of the Data Science for the Public Good program at UVA’s Biocomplexity Institute. As a Visiting Assistant Professor at Carleton, I worked with four students during Summer 2026 on a project studying American cultural and industrial institutions. You can explore the work we did for that project here.
