Biography

I am a third-year Statistics PhD student working in the field of Bayesian computation under Prof. Radu Craiu. My primary interest is hierarchical modelling, the parallelization and efficient implementation of MCMC, and related techniques.

Prior to joining the University of Toronto, I studied mathematical finance,statistics, and pure mathematics at the University of Waterloo and worked in statistical risk modeling for several years.
