Bio
I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Seattle University, where I teach in our MS Data Science program and do research in quantitative justice and interdisciplinary intersections of data science. I co-lead the Data Science, Police Accountability, and Community Engagement (DSPACE) Research Lab. Our aim is to democratize access to publicly available data on policing. I received my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington, where I worked on reduced-order modeling for fluids systems with Steve Brunton and J Nathan Kutz.
