Research Assistant Professor
Faculty, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics

I am a Research Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University.
My research interests focus on Bayesian methodology with applications to non-invasive EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI).
I closely collaborate with physicians and faculty members at Emory Brain Health Center (BHC). Click here for the BHC Project Dashboard.
