Computational scientist & machine learning research engineer

I develop and implement statistical and numerical methods for scientific computing and machine learning and turn them into reliable open-source software.

Currently I work at the ML ⇌ Science Colaboratory at the University of Tübingen. I hold a PhD in Biological and Medical Informatics from UCSF, and my work spans probabilistic modeling, scientific software, and computational methods across several applied domains.

I'm currently exploring industry roles where I can combine research, probabilistic machine learning, and software engineering.

Technical Writing & Media

I occasionally write about mathematical derivations, statistical computation, and problems that arise while developing scientific software. See my technical writing.

I was also a guest on the Learning Bayesian Statistics podcast: Bayesian Computational Biology in Julia, with Seth Axen.
