Endemicity and Eradication of Diseases in the Presence of Vaccination and Reinfection in a SEIRV Model
Contributed Talk, The Third Joint SIAM/CAIMS Annual Meetings (AN25), Montreal, Canada
A fun 15-minute talk (+ another 5 for questions) on disease transmission modelling, and some novel results when incorporting vaccination and reinfection.
Comparing Exact and Approximate Inference for Spatial Autocorrelation Tests: A Power Analysis
Contributed Talk, SSC Annual Meeting 2025, Saskatoon, Canada
Some theory and some simulation (with appropriate discussion) about spatial autocorrelation indices. Work done with a classmate of mine, Ian Zhang. A part of the student paper competition (thank you, Professor Nancy Reid for your support and informal advision!).
Crowds, Chaos, and Commutes: Making Inference on the Spatiotemporal Impact of Special Events on Travel Times
Contributed Talk, Canadian Statistics Student Conference (CSSC) 2025, Saskatoon, Canada
A data analysis project I did with a classmate of mine. Ever wondered how concerts, sports events and the like impact vehicle travel times? We did, and fit a model to figure that out.
Endemicity and Eradication of Diseases in the Presence of Vaccination and Reinfection in a SEIRV Model
Contributed Talk, Trinity College Undergraduate Research Conference (TCURC) 2025, Toronto, Canada
A fun undergraduate conference hosted by my college. Treated this as something of a test run for my SIAM/CAIMS AN25 presentation.
URIEL+: Enhancing Linguistic Inclusion and Usability in a Typological and Multilingual Knowledge Base
Contributed Talk, International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING) 2025, Abu Dhabi, UAE
There is an associated conference paper (check out my publications). A recorded version of the talk that I did for the Lee Language Lab (with whom I wrote this paper) can be found here.
A Faculty Initiative Addressing Gender Disparity at a Small STEM-Focused University: A Case Study
