A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me on this decision—mentors, colleagues, students, friends, and most importantly, my family. Now that I’m back in the Baltimore/DC area, to all my friends, if you ever find yourself nearby, please ping me and I’d love to catch up!.

At the same time, I’m very excited for this new journey at JHU, which allows me to stay close to my family in Maryland and, at the same time, opens up many new opportunities for research, collaboration, and career development.

This is a truly bittersweet moment. My time at Virginia Tech has been incredible. I’m deeply grateful for the support from my department, colleagues, and students. VT has been a wonderful academic home, and it’s hard to say goodbye.
