I am an assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics at Oklahoma State University. My research interests lie at the interface of math, biology, and data-driven methods, focusing on epidemic forecasting and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases.

In 2021, I held a Research Fellow position at the Machine Intelligence Lab - Boston Children's Hospital /Harvard Medical School under the supervision of Mauricio Santillana. From 2018 to 2020 was a postdoctoral scholar in the Laboratory for Computational Cellular Mechanobiology at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering - University of California San Diego, under the supervision of Padmini Rangamani. In 2017, I joined the Scientific Computing Program (PROCC) at Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), as a postdoctoral researcher advised by Cláudia Codeço.

I earned my Ph.D. degree from the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) under the supervision of Roberto Imbuzeiro de Oliveira (IMPA) and J. Nathan Kutz (University of Washington). My thesis focused on dimensionality reduction techniques and machine-learning algorithms for Epilepsy and Dengue Epidemiology problems.
