I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of California Los Angeles.
Prior to joining the faculty at UCLA, I was faculty in the Department of Statistical Science at Duke University, where I retain a courtesy appointment as well as in Biostatistics and Bioinformatics. I completed an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship with Kenneth Lange and received my PhD in Statistics at the University of Washington advised by Volodymyr Minin, where my work was funded by an NDSEG Fellowship.
I grew up in Tucson, where I received a BS in Mathematics from the University of Arizona in 2012. There I was mentored by Kevin Lin and William Vélez, supported by the Flinn Foundation Scholarship.
Some recent and upcoming:
PhD Alum Raphael Morsomme received the Student Paper Award in the 2025 ASA LiDS Paper Competition. Congratulations!
I am moving from Duke to UCLA effective January!
