About me:

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at Columbia University in lovely New York, NY. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from Columbia University in 2011 and my advisor was David Madigan. I am interested in Bayesian methods for large-scale data, analysis of recurrent events, and applications in postmarketing drug safety surveillance.
