ABOUT     CV     CODE    

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Irvine, being advised by Padhraic Smyth. I am also an organizer and instructor for the UCI Data Science Initiative. My research interests include machine learning, applied statistics, and Bayesian methodologies with an emphasis on user-behavior modeling.

When I'm not working as a data scientist, I enjoy hiking with my Pomeranian, Buzz, and Border Collie mix, Bandit; snowboarding; and sampling craft beers. I'm also an avid sports fan, and anytime the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Minnesota Vikings, or Dallas Mavericks are playing you will probably find me watching.

News: I have taken a full-time position at Obsidian Security, and will be working while finishing my PhD.
