Biography
After stints in finance, app development, and copywriting, Dave completed his MS in Biostatistics at the Colorado School of Public Health. There, he was part of the school’s Covid-19 modeling team, and worked as a statistical consultant on studies of PFAS chemical mixtures, cystic fibrosis, childhood leukemia, and the epigenetics of Type I diabetes. Now, he is pursuing a PhD in Data Science at Boise State out of love for large-scale problem solving, machine learning, statistics, programming, and cross-discipline collaboration. His current research focuses on methods in graph, manifold, and geometric deep learning and their biomedical applications. Outside of research, Dave enjoys playing his musical instruments, trail running in the Boise foothills and beyond, and refueling with burgers and shakes.
