NYU Langone Dept. of Population Health

The Research

This internship was in Dr. Maria Khan's lab in the Department of Population Health, working on a study examining how incarceration functions as a driver of STI/HIV transmission at the population level. The research was ultimately published in a peer-reviewed journal.

My Contributions

• Built interactive documentation for large-scale datasets to make the data more navigable for the research team
• Conducted systematic literature reviews across published epidemiological research
• Co-authored the resulting manuscript (published — see Publications)

What This Experience Shaped

Working in a clinical research environment during undergrad gave me an early and serious view into how data quality, documentation, and reproducibility actually matter — in a domain where errors have real consequences.
