About me

I am an Assistant Professor of Analytics at Miami University. Prior to this appointment, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Northwestern Argonne Institute of Science and Engineering. My postdoctoral research focused on applying and developing novel techniques based on Bayesian uncertainty quantification and computational statistics. I completed my Ph.D. in December 2020 in the Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences Department at Northwestern University. The objective of my research is to develop new statistical methods in the presence of data.

News:

October 21, 2024
Moses Chan and I co-organized a two-part session at the INFORMS Annual Meeting, Seattle, 2024. The sessions titled “Computational/Statistical Methods for Uncertainty Quantification” covered a range of emulation and calibration strategies in tackling searches in high-dimensional parameter space, stochastic simulation data, computationally effective design constructions, multi-fidelity experiments, and more. Some of the presented works can be found via this post.
