Biography

Andrea (she/her) was a Master's student and research assistant advised by Laurent Hébert-Dufresne. Her research areas centered on the randomness and heterogeneity inherent to disease spread, including stochastic methods of disease modeling and simulation, spreading processes on temporal networks, and data-driven inference on the spread of COVID-19. Before arriving at UVM, Andrea was a full-stack software developer consultant for 3 years at ThoughtWorks, Inc.

She incorporated her background in Agile application development and data engineering into her experience in Data Science and Complexity research by promoting best coding and collaboration practices.

She graduated from the lab in 2022 and joined the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as a Data Scientist.
