Biography

My name is Andrew DiLernia and I am currently a fifth year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Minnesota in the Division of Biostatistics. I grew up in the small town of Potterville, Michigan and spent my undergraduate years at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. In my free time I enjoy casually playing the piano, running, playing basketball, and watching sports like hockey and football. Fall is by far my favorite season since it has the best weather and scenery of the year.
