About Me
My research encompasses theoretical advances in statistical methods, particularly at their intersection with finance and business contexts such as risk-based management, reliability theory, etc. I emphasize the integration of theory and application, focusing on developing methodologies that not only advance statistical understanding but also provide practical solutions across diverse, interdisciplinary fields.
During my free time, I contribute to the open source community developing R packages. You can find more about me and my projects on my Resume and my GitHub.
Research Interest
My main interests are financial econometrics, computational statistics, Bayesian hiearchical models, resampling methods, and survival analysis.
