I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, and I work in the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, where Martin Nowak is my advisor. I also work with the Siliciano Lab at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

I am interested in theoretical biology and its applications to medical research. I use mathematical models and computer simulations to study:

• Virus evolution, particularly the emergence of HIV drug resistance during treatment
• Epidemiology and the spread of health behaviors
• Evolution of mutation rates ("second-order selection"), including how "rock-paper-scissors" competition can lead to hypermutation
• Cultural evolution and imitation dynamics
