Assistant Professor of Statistics
Reed College
Portland, Oregon

I am an assistant professor of statistics at Reed College. I primarily work in developing Bayesian methods for problems in the social sciences. Recently, I have focused on the analysis of preferences, with applications in voting, survey data, and peer review. Prior to joining Reed, I earned my PhD at the University of Washington, advised by Professor Elena A. Erosheva. My dissertation, "Methods for the Statistical Analysis of Preferences, with Applications to Social Science Data," is publicly available here.
