Experience

Modeling across research and industry

Industry internships in clinical pharmacology and QSP, grounded in doctoral training in dynamical systems and mechanistic modeling.

Industry

Bristol Myers Squibb · Lawrenceville, NJ

Summer 2026

Developed population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) models in Pumas and performed covariate analysis.
Supported longitudinal exposure–response (E–R) modeling in NONMEM using clinical trial data.
Contributed cross-functionally to evaluate results and communicate insights for dose selection.

Simulations Plus · Pittsburgh, PA

Summer 2024

Developed new QSP modeling technologies by integrating modeling, software, and mathematical biology.
Designed a differential equations model that leverages pharmacokinetic data to simulate drug responses.
Synthesized PK/PD data from the clinical pharmacology literature to inform trial-design decisions in oncology.
