I’m a Research Fellow in Computational Mathematics at the Flatiron Institute, a part of the Simons Foundation. My primary interest lies in statistics and machine learning methods. Much of my research is motivated by Bayesian modeling problems in pharmacometrics, epidemiology, and more.

My work bridges statistical methods, computation, and application through the development of probabilistic programing languages. I’m a core developer of the Bayesian inference software Stan, the co-creator of its pharmacometrics extension Torsten, and I have an ongoing collaboration with the TensorFlow Probability team.

I earned a Ph.D. in Statistics from Columbia University in 2022 and a B.Sci. in Physics from Yale University in 2015. You can find out more by browsing this website or looking at my CV.
