I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at University of California Santa Cruz.

I am broadly interested in statistical methods to address scientific questions in demography, epidemiology, and global health. Currently I work on latent variable modeling with high-dimensional data, space-time models, survey sampling, data integration, and weakly supervised learning. My work also often focuses on building workflows and pipelines for complex statistical analysis and data-driven decision-making in real-word settings.

I was previously a postdoctoral researcher working with Forrest Crawford in the Department of Biostatistics at Yale School of Public Health. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Statistics at the University of Washington, advised by Tyler McCormick.

My research is generously supported by the National Institutes of Health, Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation, Vital Strategies, the Hellman Fellows Program, UCOP, and UCSC.
