I am an Assistant Professor of Statistics at the University of South Carolina. I joined the Department of Statistics at U of SC in 2020 after spending two years as a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Yong Chen and Mary Boland. I obtained my PhD in Statistics from the University of Florida in 2018 under the supervision of Malay Ghosh.
My methodological and theoretical research focuses on high-dimensional Bayesian models (particularly semiparametric/nonparametric methods) and scalable algorithms for high-dimensional data. My applied research focuses on meta-analysis, data integration, and statistical analysis of electronic health records (EHRs). Outside of statistics, I enjoy cooking/barbecuing, traveling (especially to national parks), and long-distance running.
