I’m a third-year PhD student in the Department of Statistics at the University of Michigan. I work with Jeff Regier on Bayesian methods for analyzing images. My work involves a combination of Monte Carlo methods and machine learning, and it’s motivated by statistical challenges in astronomy and astrophysics.
