I’m currently an assistant professor of statistics at UC Berkeley. I earned a PhD in statistics from UC Berkeley advised by Michael Jordan, Tamara Broderick, and Jon McAuliffe, an MSc with distinction in econometrics and mathematical economics from the London School of Economics, and undergraduate degrees in mathematics and engineering mechanics from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. I’ve has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT under Tamara Broderick, as an engineer for Google and HP, and served for two years as an education volunteer in the US Peace Corps in Kazakhstan. My research interests include machine learning, variational inference, Bayesian methods, robustness quantification, and what it even means to do statistics at all.
Here is my resume.
