I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I graduated from Reed College in 2022 with a BA in mathematics. My current hobbies include rock climbing, playing video games, and following Northern California Bay Area sports. I’ve recently started golf! My research interests include Bayesian modeling, statistical learning, and uncertainty quantification, with a current focus on Bayesian Additive Regression Trees under the mentorship of Professor Sameer K. Deshpande.
