I am not your typical scientist. I've sold fine art and developed 3D STEM museum exhibits - I've dismantled/rebuilt lasers and mass spectrometers - I've presented market research to public utility commissions. Though diverse, my career has been shaped by my passion for developing novel approaches to complex problems in the world around me. From sand grains eroding out of the Himalaya, to ions in a mass spectrometer, to the electricity available in your home, my research harnesses large, robust data sets for models that expand our understanding of the world around us. In 2019, I earned my doctorate from the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. While in Arizona, I worked in Group 18 Laboratories developing novel methods in mirco-analytical geochronology and using them to construct the exhumation histories of mountainous terrains around the world. Following my graduate research, I began using my analytical skills to evaluate and verify the impact of energy efficiency programs run by public utility companies across the United States. As a data scientist in the energy industry, I wrangle electrical consumption data from hundreds of thousands of homes to evaluate the impact of demand response and behavioral modification programs using an array of modeling techniques. In my current role, I lead a team of dedicated data scientists and manage consulting contracts with some of the largest utility companies in America. I'm always excited to talk about art, education, rocks, and data science - please feel free to reach out to chat about any of these! |
