About me

Che's experience spans a variety of settings, including local and federal government public health agencies, academia, consulting and entrepreneurship. As data and computation continue to be pervasive aspects of our lives, her courses introduce students to how data science and statistics are understood (or, in many cases, misunderstood) and demonstrated in our everyday lives.

Her research focuses on modeling data collected from individuals across time with attention to variable choice, bias reduction, and the use of data visualization to communicate complex and high-dimensional data.
