About me:
I am an associate professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). I joined UTD in 2019. My research interests include order-restricted inference, shape-constrained inference, empirical processes, empirical likelihood, survival analysis, mathematical statistics, and post-selection inference.
