Abstract

I participated in the Big Data Summer Immersion at Yale, a Summer Institute in Biostatistics at the Yale School of Public Health, for six weeks in the summer of 2025. The program combined biostatistics-related lectures with professional development workshops and research experience. I collaborated on research modeling vaccine-targeted serotype group trends to assess higher-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine needs in Nepal using time series analysis, Bayesian hierarchical modeling, and market basket analysis in R, and presented it at the culminating Symposium on Big Data, Human Health, and Statistics. This experience provided clarity on my academic goals and career path, strengthened my research and communication abilities, and equipped me with valuable technical and professional skills.
