BIO

I'm an associate professor in Heinz College, which is part of Carnegie Mellon University, and contains the Schools of Public Policy and Information Systems. I also have a courtesy appointment in the Department of Statistics.

 

My research interests are statistics and machine learning in network settings. This includes community detection, other network models involving latent variables or unsupervised learning, and causal inference in the presence of social network effects (i.e., interference between units).

 

I was a graduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where my advisor was Benjamin Van Roy. I've also worked as a technical staff member at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, as a postdoc in the School of Engineering at Harvard University, and as a visiting postdoc in the Department of Statistics at UC Berkeley.
