Welcome! 

I am an Assistant Clinical Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Maryland, College Park and run the STAtistics for Renal Allograft and PaThology Outcomes Research (STARAPTOR) Lab. I particularly enjoy developing and applying statistical methodology to address challenges with renal histopathology and kidney transplantation data. Please reach me at jrub@umd.edu if you are interested in working with me as a trainee or collaborator. 

Note I can not support any teaching assistant, graders, or paid research assistants at this time. I can only support trainees who are willing to do research on a volunteer/unpaid basis as I do not currently have any research funds for trainees. 

Wait...you don't do math for fun?!?

So like actually you do something besides math?

Like actually. 

I love seeking out wonderful coffee and food, playing badminton, watching and performing stand-up comedy as well as making puns. In addition to formerly being a member of the competitive Penn badminton team, I hold the following comedic and badminton accolades:

• It's Always Punny in Philadelphia #5: Pundemonium Finalist | February 2024

• Snowpeak DC Open MD D Consolation Champion | March 2025

• PhillyPinoy Badminton Team Tournament Division 2 (Intermediate Division) 1st Place | October 2024

Here is some photographic evidence of me in some non-academic habitats. Please note these pictures or any that you can find on my website may not reflect my current age at the time of reading this.

Sadly Jeremy can't be at his poster for presenting, but a collaborator will hopefully be in his place and go check it out!
