Biography
A Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Research focuses on Bayesian statistics, probabilistic machine learning, and cancer genomics. Particularly interested in Bayesian discrete matrix factorization and other interpretable models for complex biomedical data, especially in cancer genomics. While cancer genomics provides the main motivation for the Bayesian discrete matrix factorization, the methods are useful more broadly for uncovering structure in high-dimensional and heterogeneous data.
