Hi! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biostatistics & Informatics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, working with Yue Wang and Debashish Ghosh. I previously completed my PhD in the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin under Peter Müller, following a Master’s degree in mathematics at UNAM in Mexico City advised by Ramsés Mena. My research focuses on challenges at the intersection of Bayesian statistics, biology, and healthcare, especially computationally intensive problems. Outside of research, I spend my time exploring the local food scene and hiking with my two corgis.

Research Interests

  • Foundations of Bayesian predictive inference
  • Bayesian nonparametrics
  • Efficient algorithms for inference in complex models
  • Latent factor models
