Dalis Nilson
MS Candidate in Data Science, Boston College · Research Assistant, Human Flourishing Program, Harvard University
I am a data scientist with a background in medicine. I apply statistical modeling to health and well-being research.
At Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program, I conduct the South Africa site analysis of the REACH Forgiveness randomized controlled trial. This work includes mixed-effects models, multiple imputation, generalized estimating equations, and a reproducible Python pipeline translated from R. At Boston College, I build Python workflows to analyze how children and educators around the world use ScratchJr.
Before data science, I studied medicine at the University of South Florida and later redesigned clinical skills curricula for hybrid and virtual instruction. That clinical training shapes how I approach data. I care about measurement quality, careful evaluation, and results that hold up in practice.
I am looking for applied data science and machine learning roles, especially in health.
