Hi, I’m Will.
I build applied ML systems for disease forecasting.
I work at the intersection of machine learning and infectious disease epidemiology: leakage-safe evaluation, rare-event modeling, calibration, and interpretable diagnostics. My current focus is county-scale early warning for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1.
Current: USDA ARS Research Assistant (HPAI forecasting)
Focus: spatiotemporal ML • biosurveillance • interpretability
Background: CS @ UTA • fundamentals of AI certificate
