I am an Associate Professor at the University of Iowa. My research areas include social media, FinTech, and machine learning. I am particularly interested in developing NLP methods to study culture and values. I received my Ph.D. in Operations, Business Analytics and Information Systems from the University of Cincinnati in 2015, under the guidance of Dr. Michael Fry, and hold an M.S. in Statistics from Miami University. Before joining the University of Iowa, I was an Associate Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology.
