My research focuses on the development of statistical methods for analysis of modern high-dimensional biomedical data, and is at the intersection of applied, computational and theoretical statistics. I believe that challenging applied problems give rise to better statistical methodology and my primary goal is to aid the discovery of scientifically meaningful low-dimensional structures in high-dimensional data. I believe that collaboration plays a key role in achieving this goal and I enjoy working with both domain scientists and methodological researchers. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation grants DMS-1712943, CAREER DMS-2044823, and recognized with a David P. Byar Young Investigator Award from the Biometrics section of the American Statistical Association.

Summary of methodological interests:

  • high-dimensional data analysis (with the focus on sparsity regularization)
  • multivariate analysis (dimension reduction methods such as PCA, CCA and LDA)
  • data integration/multi-view data analysis
  • statistical/machine learning
  • computational statistics

Summary of application interests:

  • multi-omics data analysis (e.g. gene expression, methylation, miRNA, etc.)
  • microbiome data
  • data from wearable devices (e.g. continuous glucose monitors and activity trackers)
