I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at Purdue University.

My research lies at the intersection of Bayesian statistics, probabilistic graphical models, computational statistics, and Monte Carlo methods. I am particularly interested in developing scalable methodology for complex, high-dimensional models where likelihood evaluation, sampling, or optimization is computationally challenging.

More broadly, my work combines statistical methodology, computation, and theory, with applications ranging from preference and ranking data to ecological, actuarial, and scientific problems.

Before joining Purdue, I was a Postdoctoral Associate in Statistical Science at Duke University, where I worked with David Dunson. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from Texas A&M University under the supervision of Bani K. Mallick and Anirban Bhattacharya.

I currently serve as an Associate Editor of Sankhyā A.

My research is partially funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Society of Actuaries.
