Welcome!
I am an associate professor at the Department of Statistics and Operations Research. My research interests include nonparametric inference, high-dimensional inference, and post-selection inference. As the principal investigator, I am collaborating with my colleagues on a Focused Research Group (FRG) effort funded by the National Science Foundation.
