Starting in July of 2023, I started working full-time with the Nova Scotia Health Authority as a research statistician, working with Dr. Rudolf Uher and Dr. Frank Rudzicz. I also collaborate with CAN-BIND. My work involves managing datasets for various research projects in mental health and conducting statistical analyses, using both traditional statistics and machine learning. Most recently, our group is focused on using speech analysis to inform solutions for patients with depression.
In 2019, I began a PhD in Computer Science at Dalhousie University under Dr. Sageev Oore, where I was also affiliated with Vector Institute. My projects there involved creating new, innovative tools for music creators, and furthering general music understanding for machine learning models. More broadly, I worked with sequence models for prediction and generation. I was also (and still am) interested learning representations that are useful for multiple downstream tasks.
Before Dalhousie, I completed an MMath degree in Pure Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, where I studied Riemannian geometry and its applications to machine learning. I also have a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from Saint Mary's University, during which I was involved in a wide range of research labs, studying topics such as machine learning, data science, graph theory, and nanochemistry.
