Hi, my name is Armelle and I’m currently a PhD student in biostatistics at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. I’m passionate about the interdependence between the health of the environment and the health of humans. I like to work on statistical methods driven by questions in environmental health and science, including spatial statistics, Bayesian disease mapping, user-focused statistical methods for environmental/public health, and reproducible research. I am currently working with Brent Coull and Rachel Nethery on model development for small-area spatial disease analysis.

I hold a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Colorado School of Mines, where I conducted research on sleep and circadian rhythms with Cecilia Diniz Behn and automated sensitivity analysis for dynamical systems with Michael Mikucki. This work has led me to multiple conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications, including a first-author article on sex differences in adolescent circadian timing.

In my free time, I love anything outdoors but especially hiking/backpacking, mountain biking, and climbing. I also practice yoga and I’m a huge book worm!
