I’m an assistant professor of statistics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, where I lead a research program on Bayesian modeling and probabilistic machine learning. I’m interested in the application of these methods in several areas, including public health, biomedicine and astrophysics. An outcome of this research is the development of high-performance open-source software, such as Stan, which empower scientists to analyze complex data.

I also teach at all levels (undergraduate, masters and PhD), and I’m passionate about how a statistics curriculum can help students build a foundation in all empirical sciences, understand modern topics such as AI, and develop critical thinking.
