I'm currently a Postdoctoral Associate in the Motor Speech Disorders Lab at the University of Buffalo. This website features my publications and CV, as well as a guide to creating figures in R and basic Python scripts for automation.

I was introduced to R during my PhD program at Ohio State. Initially, I was the sole R user in my research lab, so I focused on learning the language independently. I quickly grew to appreciate its open framework and ever-expanding repository of packages.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked with various programs and software, but R remains my preferred language. I enjoy using it to identify patterns in complex datasets and, most importantly, to communicate those patterns through clear and effective graphics. I am also always eager to help colleagues debug their R code and refine figures, as data visualization is crucial in scientific research.

More recently, I’ve grown to value the streamlined power of Python for automation, especially in repetitive tasks and workflow optimization.

I hope you find these resources informative and useful.

Sincerely,
