Hello!

I'm Dan, a PhD Student in Information Science at Cornell University, based in NYC. I work with Dr. Tanzeem Choudhury, and am a member of the People-Aware Computing Lab. My work focuses on creating novel, interpretable algorithms for remote symptom monitoring of chronic conditions. Most of my work is specifically focused on mental and behavioral health.

Prior to Cornell, I worked at the intersection of data science and healthcare developing techniques to model the cost of chronic conditions for healthcare payers and providers within the U.S. I've also spent time in Australia creating educational programs to upskill adults for technology roles. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University.

If you're a music junky in NYC, hmu (post COVID-19) to go to a live show! You can catch me hiking/biking on weekends, or debating NYC's best pizza slice and ice cream shops. I occasionally blog.
