I am a postdoctoral fellow working with Dr. Mevin Hooten in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the University of Texas at Austin. I received my PhD in Statistics from the University of Missouri under the supervision of Dr. Christopher K. Wikle. I am interested in Spatial statistics, Spatio-temporal statistics in the Bayesian framework, and statistical deep learning for Spatial and Spatio-temporal data.
