I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working with Forrest Crawford in the Department of Biostatistics at Yale School of Public Health. I did my Ph.D. in the Department of Statistics from University of Washington, advised by Tyler McCormick.
I am broadly interested in developing statistical (usually Bayesian) tools to practical problems in demography, epidemiology, and public health. I am particularly interested in how to reliably characterize complex dependence structures in noisy high-dimensional data. Some of my substantive areas of interest include: verbal autopsy, child mortality, infectious disease in space and time, and reproducible scientific research.
Probabilistic cause-of-death assignment using verbal autopsy |
An ECM approach for Gaussian (copula) graphical models |
Bayesian latent Gaussian graphical models for mixed data
Small-area analysis of under-five child mortality using DHS surveys |
