Assistant Professor

Department of Statistics, The Wharton School

University of Pennsylvania

I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.  My research interests include Bayesian and nonparametric Bayesian approaches to time-series and longitudinal data analysis, with an emphasis on extensions to high-dimensional data.

I recently completed a postdoc in the Duke Department of Statistical Science working with Prof. Mike West and Prof. David Dunson.  In July 2009, I received my Ph.D. in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department at MIT, working with Prof. Alan Willsky as a member of the Stochastic Systems Group (SSG) within MIT's Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS).  While pursuing my Ph.D., I collaborated with, among others, Dr. Erik Sudderth, Prof. Michael Jordan, and Dr. John Fisher.
