Aven completed her MS in Industrial Engineering and Management in reliability and quality from Oklahoma State University with a Minor in Statistics. Her thesis was in dynamic analysis of high dimensional gene expression data using various dimension reduction methods, with a focus on applied statistics, biostatics, time series analysis, and data reduction. She also worked on an applied project on BlackIce detection methods using various sensors based on thermo graphical and vibration properties of BlackIce supported by Oklahoma Department of Transportation during her MS degree. As a PhD student, she is a part of the statistical process quality (SPC) group at HSyE, in which her research is narrowed down in theatrical problems using statistical methods with application in healthcare. She is also a part of the Tufts System Dynamics team, working on decision thresholds in developmental-behavioral screening. Based on her gained experiences in time-series, she is also investigating the application of interrupted time series (ITS) in healthcare. Aven served as the Vice-President of INFORMS student chapter at OSU during the 2012-2013 academic year. Her hobbies include playing piano, painting, dancing, and travel.
