About

A statistician who likes methods, but also likes making them usable.

My work has ranged from feature selection and mixture-model thinking to applied collaboration on electronic health records. Across those settings, I care about making assumptions explicit and workflows durable.

Background

I completed a PhD in Statistics in August 2025 and currently work as a postdoctoral researcher at George Mason University. My training spans methodological statistics, machine learning, and computational work that needs to survive contact with real data.

In practice, that has meant feature-selection research, mixture-model reasoning, stochastic simulation optimization, and applied analysis of electronic health records. I also spend a meaningful amount of time thinking about how technical results are presented, documented, and turned into reusable tools.

What I value

  • Methods that remain interpretable once they leave an idealized derivation.
  • Software and analyses that expose assumptions instead of burying them.
  • Collaboration with domain experts where statistical clarity is part of the deliverable.

Current interests

Right now I am especially interested in Gaussian processes, kernels, model-selection stability, and the design of lightweight interfaces for technical explanation. I follow developments in large language models as a user and builder, but I tend to approach them through a statistical lens.

Open to new collaborations

Looking for work that connects statistical rigor with practical systems.
