Research

I am a Clinical Associate Professor in the department of Statistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign since Spring 2020.

​

I have been in UIUC since 2014 in the ISE department. Before that I spent one year at CUNY (City College), two years at UC Santa Barbara. I did my post-doc at INRIA Nancy (France) under the supervision of Samy Tindel. 

​

I received my Ph.D. from the department of Statistics at Purdue University in 2009 and my thesis advisor is Frederi G. Viens.
