Associate Teaching Professor

Statistics

BIO

I joined Carnegie Mellon’s Statistics and Data Science Department as an assistant teaching professor in 2019. Before that, I received my PhD in Statistics at Harvard University, where I was advised by Tirthankar Dasgupta and Luke Miratrix. As a graduate student, I received an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship to study the design and analysis of complex experiments and observational studies. At this point my bio becomes somewhat repetitive: I did my undergraduate at Carnegie Mellon from 2010 to 2014, where I received a B.S. in Economics and Statistics and a B.A. in Professional Writing.
