I am an Assistant Professor of Statistics in the Department of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics at Case Western Reserve University. I received my PhD in Statistics from the University of Minnesota in 2020, advised by Prof. Yuhong Yang.
Before joining CWRU, I was a postdoctoral scholar at Penn State University, where I worked at the intersection of sequential decision-making and kernel methods with Prof. Bharath Sriperumbudur. Prior to that, I spent time as a postdoctoral researcher in 2021 studying climate and extreme weather modeling for hurricanes with Prof. Snigdhansu Chatterjee.
My research broadly focuses on the theory and methodology of modern statistical learning. In particular, I am interested in:
- sequential decision-making problems, especially contextual bandits,
- nonparametric statistics and kernel methods,
- statistical learning theory,
- inverse problems and machine learning.
If you are interested in learning more about my work, feel free to contact me by email.
Students interested in pursuing research or a Capstone project with me should reach out early in the Fall semester prior to enrolling in the Capstone course.
