About me

I am an Associate Professor with tenure at MIT. I work in the areas of machine learning and statistics. Before coming to MIT, I completed my PhD at UC Berkeley. You can learn more about my background in the following (plaintext) short bio.

In my research, I am interested in understanding how we can quickly, easily, and reliably quantify uncertainty and robustness in modern data analysis procedures. To that end, I'm particularly interested in Bayesian inference – with an emphasis on scalable, nonparametric, and unsupervised learning.

  • In Spring 2023, I am teaching 6.7830 Bayesian Modeling and Inference. (Note: MIT EECS renumbered all of its courses for the 2022/2023 academic year; in previous years, this course was listed as 6.435.)
  • To apply to work with me as a PhD student, submit your application to MIT EECS; more info at this link. I can also advise PhD students accepted to other appropriate programs at MIT; e.g., I have advised PhDs in Math and CSB.
  • To apply to work with me as a postdoc, email me your CV (pdf), a statement of research interests, a pdf of 1 (or 2) of your most significant publications, and the contact details (including email addresses) of two references.
