I am an associate professor in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. 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 had a joint appointment at Mount Holyoke College. Before that, 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.
