• My presentation on digital health applications of unsupervised learning at the 2021 Annual DSI Data Science Day is now available online.
  • A piece by Karina Alexanyan on my recent collaboration on ENDOMIC as inspired by my research is now live. It was great pleasure to chat with Karina and I am excited about how the piece turned out.
  • My latest work on digital phenotyping of sleep using unsupervised machine learning was presented at the DSI Health Analytics Poster Session was held on April 2nd, 2021.
  • Responsible Investor magazine recently covered (pdf version here) a project conducted by Rights CoLab, one of our Data for Good collaborators.
  • With my colleagues at Columbia, I was recently awarded seed funds from the Data Science Institute to study digital sleep phenotypes and examine the associations of daily exposure to minority stressors (such as experiences of discrimination and anticipated discrimination) with sleep health among Black and Latinx sexual and gender minority adults.

  • Speaking at the DSI Summer Career Webinar Series
  • Virtual Data Science Day 2020 at DSI
  • In June 2019, DSI participated in the Annual Columbia Alumni STEM Day for the first time. I organized and led a team of students representing the DSI at this event to create an interactive project that aimed to introduce kids to the field of data science,  help them better understand how to visualize and interpret data, put it into context and disseminate their findings. We developed an interactive data science education tool that implements scientific methodology steps and aims to improve graph literacy in young children. I later led workshops held at Teachers’ College for elementary school teachers based on this tool.
  • Leading Workshop on data literacy skills in K-12 classrooms
  • This project later led to a white paper co-authored with Monica Chan, one of the doctoral students involved in the project, for which we won the Computing Community Consortium White Paper award for open source data science education:
