A Mathematician, a Different Kind of Mathematician, and a Statistician

I am a data scientist at theJohns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. Previously, I have been a consultant to various government agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Executive Office of the President, and the United States Department of Homeland Security. Before that, I served as an internal consultant on scientific computing for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Alongside my professional work, I have a strong passion for teaching and have been teaching mathematics and statistics at the University of Maryland Global Campus since 2010. I have also taught public affairs at several institutions, including the City University of New York and theUniversity of New Mexico.

I consider myselffortunate to have played a part in many innovative projects throughout my career, which include modeling the spread of infectious respiratory diseases and Ebolavirus, predicting global disruptive events, researching blockchain for government services, and designing devices to rescue victims of building collapse. I have also authoredtwo books on my work and co-edited two more.

In my free time, I’m an active member of my community, having servedHoward County, Maryland in various roles including as a member of the Board of Appeals and Charter Review Commission. I’ve also volunteered my time providing economic advice to theColumbia Association, establishing an alumni association for theCollege Park Scholars Program at the University of Maryland, and serving on several public and private boards.
