I'm an
assistant professor in the Department of
Biostatistics at Harvard School of Public
Health. I work with the
Environmental Statistics group here in the department,
which runs the
Environmental Statistics seminar series. My statistical expertise is in the areas of Bayesian statistics and spatial statistics. My research
here focuses on spatial and spatio-temporal modelling for
environmental health applications, including exposure
estimation, measurement error issues, and modelling health outcomes. I also have some
ongoing work in Bayesian spatio-temporal modeling for
ecological applications.
I finished my PhD in Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University in May, 2003. My previous training was in ecology, with an MS from Duke University and a BA from Carleton College. My Ph.D. research focused on nonstationary covariance structures for Gaussian process models with application to climatological and other spatial data and to nonparametric regression modelling. |

A little about my philosophy of what to post on the web about your research. In short, post as much as possible, though if you're worried about someone stealing your ideas, you may want to wait to post details until you at least have a tech report ready.
I also have a personal home page, which at this point is rather boring, though it does contain some interesting quotes, some recipes, and a few cool pictures from a former life as an ecologist.
