Welcome! I am Assistant Professor in the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Portland State University.  My research focuses on advancing Bayesian methodology for large scale spatio-temporal problems with emphasis on ecological applications. I am also interested in the methodological aspects of Bayesian testing procedures. 

I love the outdoors and spending time with my wife, family and friends.  I also enjoy running, biking, hiking, watching movies, reading, cooking, etc...
