Welcome
I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Lafayette College. I earned my Ph.D. in Statistics and Operations Research at UNC Chapel Hill, under the direction of Dr. Zhengwu Zhang, Dr. Jan Hannig and Dr. Steve Marron. My focus is primarily on high dimensional inference and data integration, algorithmic bias, and interpretable machine learning. Prior to coming to UNC, I obtained my undergraduate degree in Mathematical Sciences from Clemson University in 2020. I am also deeply involved with high school and intercollegiate ethics bowl and was the coach of the 2023-2024 UNC intercollegiate ethics bowl team.
