I am an associate professor in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Department of Computer Science at Mount Holyoke College. My research investigates fundamental problems in machine learning and applied algorithms motived by large-scale environmental data, dynamic ecological processes, and real-world network phenoemena.

Previously, I was a postdoc at Oregon State University, where I held a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in Bioinformatics. I received my Ph.D. in computer science from Cornell University.
