I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Statistics at the University of British Columbia. I conduct research under the joint supervision of Professors Alexandre Bouchard-Côté and Paul Gustafson.
Broadly speaking, my interests are in topics at the interface of Computer Science and Statistics, particularly Bayesian Statistics and the statistical methods behind Machine Learning. Currently, my main focus is towards constructing Bayesian models, for network data, that permit scalable and efficient inference.
