ABOUT ME

​

​

I'm a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and a Fellow in Sociology at Harvard University. My main research interest is in sociogenomics, which lies at the intersection of sociology, demography, and statistical & computational genetics. I am interested in how social forces and environments interact with genetics (gene-by-environment interactions). Using recent advances in genetic data collection and methodological developments in statistical genetics, I leverage large-scale genetic data to explore how sociological outcomes like educational attainment, risk taking behavior, smoking, drinking, or sexual orientation change across context, across time, and across outcome measurement. I am also deeply dedicated to clearly and sensitively communicating the findings from my work in an ethically-engaged and community-based fashion. My work outside of social science genetics focuses on population health, health disparities, and quasi-experimental designs and methodologies. ​
