I am a research assistant at the CyberInfrastructure & Geospatial Information Laboratory (CIGI) and CyberGIS Center for Advanced Digital and Spatial Studies. My research is focused on CyberGIS; utilizing and developing high-performance and scalable software and cyberinfrastructure for advanced spatial analysis and modeling. I'm currently studying for a PhD student in Spatial Informatics under Dr. Shaowen Wang at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My work on reproducible computation in the geosciences lead to a redesign of CyberGISX and CyberGIS-Jupyter for Water (CJW) and my work on rapidly measuring spatial accessibility during the COVID-19 pandemic was deployed as part of the WhereCOVID-19 Spatial Accessibility Explorer.
