Biography

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Operations Research & Financial Engineering at Princeton University. Previously, I was an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. I received my PhD in Statistics and Data Science from Yale University in 2018, where I was fortunate to have been mentored by Andrew Barron. From 2017 to 2018, I was a visiting graduate student in the statistics department at Wharton.

My research is partially supported by NSF DMS-2054808 (PI) and TRIPODS DATA-INSPIRE Institute CCF-1934924 (Senior Personnel). Thank you, NSF!

I am a participating faculty at the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning (CSML) at Princeton and senior personnel on TRIPODS DATA-INSPIRE Institute at Rutgers.

My spouse is a behavioral marketing researcher at Yale University.

If you are a PhD student at Princeton and are interested in talking about research, please email me.
