About

I am a William H. Kruskal Instructor of Statistics at the University of Chicago. I previously completed my PhD in biostatistics at Harvard University where I was advised by Rafael Irizarry and Jeff Miller.

My research interests lie at the intersection of high-dimensional statistics and genomics. My recent work includes:

  1. Dimensionality reduction for single-cell genomic data
  2. Manifold learning for spatial transcriptomics
  3. Integration of high-dimensional random matrices
  4. Estimation of perturbation effects in CRISPR data
