After completing my PhD with Prof. Paul Joyce at the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ, I worked at the University of Michigan and at Stanford University as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Prof. Noah Rosenberg. My work on theoretical population genetics and metascience are interdisciplinary and I collaborate with faculty from natural, social, mathematical sciences, and humanities.

I am a statistician and mathematical modeler. My background is in stochastic modeling of population-level phenomena, and development of computational statistical methods
to perform inference under uncertainty. I have a broad interest in stochastic modeling of complex systems and statistical theory. 

My current work is focused on: Mathematical and statistical aspects of metascience. I use statistical theory, mathematical modeling, and simulations to investigate:

  • How scientific processes of accumulating knowledge work
  • How sciences progress
  • What is the role of reproducibility of scientific findings in advancing knowledge.
