I am a postdoctoral fellow at the North Carolina State University Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center. I work with Brian J. Reich in Statistics and Adam J. Terando in Applied Ecology/USGS. I was a member of the inaugural Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral Fellows Cohort working on national and regional fire science problems. I completed my PhD in Statistics in 2021 at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, supervised by Nagaraj K. Neerchal.
My research focuses on methodological and computational advances for high dimensional spatial/spatial extremes data. During my PhD, I used variational inference to model daily precipitation data using hidden Markov models.. I’m particularly interested in combining the predictive capabilities of deep learning within the inferential framework of Bayesian inference.
