Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Connecticut Human Performance Laboratory and Korey Stringer Institute. I work on statistical analysis and machine learning for human physiology research: wearable sensor time-series, hierarchical Bayesian and mixed-effects modeling of within-person variability, and reproducible analysis pipelines. Marine Corps veteran.
