Background
  • Currently a William H. Kruskal Instructor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago
  • Research focuses on: Hierarchical Models (Identifiability, Statistical Efficiency, and Model Selection Methods), Statistical Genetics, Population Genetics, Phylogenetics, and Statistical Optimal Transport
  • Studies identifiability and parameter estimation for latent variable models (e.g., mixture and admixture models with unknown numbers of components) using optimal transport, empirical process theory, and Bayesian asymptotic theory
  • Develops interpretable and computationally efficient hierarchical Bayesian methods with applications in genetics
  • Starting Summer 2025, will work on GWAS with a focus on fine-mapping
