I’m excited to join the University of Delaware as an Assistant Professor this Fall! I’ll launch my research lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, where I’ll focus on immunotherapy design and delivery platforms. @UDelaware @udbme

Seeing Theory by Brown University is such a great interactive way to learn the fundamentals of probability in #psychstats! It has #dataviz for more advanced concepts like regression and ANOVA, too! 📊 #IOPsych https://t.co/GKteznJhG5

I look forward to creating opportunities like these to support the next generation of researchers. Stay tuned for regular updates as I launch my research lab and highlight the accomplishments of trainees on my team at UD!

I was incredibly fortunate to receive a research experience for undergraduates (REU) award, which was my first research opportunity. This REU opened my eyes to an entire world of professional research and a career path that I continue to pursue.
