I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Statistics at the University of Minnesota. My primary research interests are in multivariate analysis, numerical optimization, statistical genetics and genomics, and more broadly, statistical and machine learning. Recently, I have been especially interested in single cell and spatial transcriptomic data analysis: see my research page for details. I serve as Associate Editor for Data Science in Science and Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics.
