Biography

I joined the department in 2006 upon graduation from North Carolina State University. My longstanding research endeavor is developing inferential methods that account for measurement errors in data. Measurement error models, as an example of latent variables models, are especially susceptible to model misspecification. I am thus naturally drawn to the study of model misspecification that ignites new ideas for model diagnosis and flexible modeling robust to model misspecification. Lastly, I am also interested in developing methodologies for drawing inferences based on non-Gaussian data, including heavy-tailed data, directional data and compositional data.
