University of Chicago, BA, PhD
I received my PhD in the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago in 2016, advised by Michael Stein and co-advised by Elisabeth Moyer.
My research is in statistical climatology. I am particularly interested in characterizing climate variability and changes thereof, and in comparing and combining information from observations with climate model output. My methodological interests are primarily in time series analysis and spatiotemporal statistics, and I also have interests in e.g. extreme value analysis and quantile regression. Interdisciplinary collaboration is an important aspect of my work.
If you are interested in some of the ways that statistics can be used in climate science (both in my own research and otherwise), check out this tutorial that I gave with Karen A. McKinnon at NeurIPS 2021.

I grew up in the suburbs of New York City and lived in Chicago for ten years before moving to Minnesota. My partner, Brigit, is a clinical social worker. I have a twin sister, Laura, who is a science journalist and an older brother, Dan, who is a poet.
I enjoy reading, cooking, Minnesota winters, cross country skiing, rollerblading, and spending time with our cats Rosy and Louise.
