Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Previously, I was a postdoc researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Research Interests
My research interests lie in the intersection of statistical methodology (nonparametric and high-dimensional statistics) and biomedical applications (microbiome and imaging).
