Current Position
I am currently an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychology, Statistics, and Data Science at the University of Minnesota. My work sits at the intersection of quantitative psychology and computational statistics, with a focus on developing robust methodological tools for complex data.
Educational Journey
My academic background is rooted in understanding human attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors through the lens of rigorous mathematical modeling. I earned masters and doctoral degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I specialized in Quantitative Psychology and Statistics.
- Ph.D. in Psychology, University of Illinois [Advisor: Ping Ma]
- M.A. in Psychology, University of Illinois [Advisor: Sungjin Hong]
- M.S. in Statistics, University of Illinois
- B.S. in Psych (major) and Math (minor), University of Miami
Professional Focus
My research is driven to discover how complex psychological phenomenon can be better understood using robust multivariate and nonparametric methods. I strive to make these novel computational methods accessible to the broader public and scientific community through open-source publications and software.
