About Me

I am a postdoctoral research assistant in computational statistics and machine learning at the University of Oxford supervised by Arnaud Doucet and funded by the CoSInES project. I recently have joined the algorithms and inference working group in Next Generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT) collaboration to help improve the algorithms used to model and image supermassive black holes. Before this, I completed a PhD in Statistics with Alexandre Bouchard-Côté at the University of British Columbia.

Research Interests

Monte Carlo methods, scalable Bayesian inference, parallel tempering, sequential Monte Carlo, information geometry, statistical physics.
