Biography

I am a postdoctoral associate at Yale School of Public Health, working with Dr. Bhramar Mukherjee.

I recently graduated from the University of Waterloo for my Ph.D. in Statistics, supervised by Dr. Audrey Béliveau and Dr. Martin Lysy.

My research is mainly concerned with Bayesian hierarchical modeling and is motivated by applications in a variety of fields. During my Ph.D. study, I was working on capture-recapture methods and population size estimation. Moreover, I am also interested in various topics in Bayesian methods. I am still learning more and more new areas of statistics and biostatistics.
