Biosketch
In May, I defended my Plan B project and passed the MS exam,
and now I am looking forward to applying to the Biostatistics PhD program at the U.
This summer, I am writing a solutions manual for Carlin and Louis'
Bayesian Methods for Data Analysis.
I am also continuing work modeling skin cancer outcomes in the USRT cohort.
My research interests include spatiotemporal Bayesian methods and Bayesian approaches to missing data problems.
