About

I’m an associate professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.
I completed my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and then joined the Department of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University followed by the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Yale University.

Statistics that are out of this world!
We address complex statistical challenges found in the natural and physical sciences, with an emphasis on challenges in astronomy.


An exoplanet is a planet orbiting a star that is not the Sun.  We develop methods to find them in noisy data.

Are there holes in your data? 
We can help you find them.

I gratefully acknowledge my current and past funding support:
