papers
This repo houses some of the academic papers from my time at the University of Michigan after undergrad when working in the Department of Mathematics Education; during graduate school in the Lampe lab, studying collective intelligence, social networks, social affordance, etc. From my time in industry I've included some research work from my time at a health data startup, where I was involved with longitudinal analyses of patient outcomes of patients diagnosed with rare diseases and/or chronic conditions, as well as a whitepaper from 2023 on large language models, written for companies in industry who are building and training their own LLM from scratch, in house.
In reverse chronological order
Large language models and natural language processing

Rare and chronic conditions and patient outcomes
- Hepatitis-C (HCV) rate previously underestimated in the Baby Boomers populace; the previous estimates by the CDC undershot positivity rates, failing to diagnose as many as 1 in 10 (~10%) of hep-C-positive Baby Boomers in large metropolitan areas in the United States (written while at Medivo, now Prognos.ai; the HCV poster (in this repo) can also be found on Prognos' website)
University of Michigan School of Information
- Facebook question-asking work (done while UofM graduate student research assistant)
- Perceptions of Facebook's Value as an Information Source
- Who wants to know? Question-Asking and Answering Practices among Facebook Users

- Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS) – Creation of a unique iteration of the PALS-formatted scales, specifically designed for studying the learning environment, students' affect, motivation and behavior in post-secondary remedial and non-remedial mathematics students. I was a research assistant, focusing on data management and database creation and maintenance in the Department of Mathematics Education at the University of Michigan's School of Education.
