Hi! I am a 5th year PhD student at the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I am advised by Dr. Peter Müller and enjoy working on problems at the intersection between Bayesian statistics, biology and healthcare, particularly for computationally intensive problems.

Research interests

  • Bayesian nonparametrics,
  • efficient algorithms for inference in complex models,
  • latent factor models
