I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Department of Statistics and Data Science and the Department of Biostatistics, UCLA. I am also affiliated with California Center for Population Research (CCPR), Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (CQSE), and Consortium of Data Analytics in Risk (CDAR). 

​

My research interest lies in statistical inference and decision-making under uncertainty. One focus of my research is the area of economics and machine learning, which blends game theory and online learning to provide statistical models for microeconomics. Another area of focus has been nonparametric inference, including both dynamical systems, where I am interested in learning differential equations from observational data, and frequentist nonparametrics, where I have focused on kernel machines. I am also interested in biostatistics applications, including Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and kidney exchanges.
