Welcome
I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the Yale School of Public Health. I am also affiliated with the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics program.
I completed my PhD in Biomathematics at UCLA in 2012 under the guidance of Marc A. Suchard. Generally, I work on mathematical and statistical problems related to stochastic processes in biomedical and evolutionary science.
My methodological and theoretical interests are:
- Inference for stochastic processes
- Computational statistics
- Nonparametric inference
- Optimization
- Algorithms
- Parallel computing / GPUs
- Machine learning
My work has practical applications in many fields, including:
- Genetics
- Evolution
- Infectious diseases
- Public health
Please contact me if you would like to know more about my work.
