Akwaaba!
I’m a Ph.D. student in Biostatistics at UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. I am interested in developing statistical and machine learning methods for causal inference, particularly those involving interference, structured missingness, and shifting data-generating mechanisms. My interests include understanding how to design estimators that remain reliable when classical assumptions break down, and how to integrate modern representation learning, invariance ideas, and causal structure into practical tools for public health and policy evaluation. I also explore infectious disease modeling to simulate disease spread and assess control strategies.
