I am an Assistant Professor of Statistics at the University of Georgia.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral research fellow with Distinguished Professor Noel Cressie and Associate Professor Andrew Zammit-Mangion at the University of Wollongong, within the Australian Research Council Special Research Initiative, Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future. I received my Ph.D. in Statistical Science from the University of California, Santa Cruz, advised by Professor Athanasios Kottas and Professor Bruno Sansó.

My research focuses on developing statistical and machine learning methods for inference and prediction from complex and dependent data. Methods development is strongly motivated by addressing real-world challenges, particularly in ecological and environmental applications, among others. Areas of research I am currently involved in include spatial and spatio-temporal statistics, point process modeling, probabilistic downscaling (from coarse to fine resolution), data integration, transfer learning, and statistical deep learning.
