Academic Achievements
  • Published works include 'Common to rare transfer learning (CORAL) enables inference and prediction for a quarter million rare Malagasy arthropods' in Nature Methods, and 'BAYESIAN LEARNING OF CLINICALLY MEANINGFUL SEPSIS PHENOTYPES IN NORTHERN TANZANIA' in Annals of Applied Statistics, among others.
Research Experience
  • Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Statistical Science at Duke University (2013-Present); Professor of Statistical Science (2008-Present); Professor in the Department of Mathematics (2014-Present); Faculty Network Member of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences (2011-Present).
Background
  • Research interests include developing new tools for probabilistic learning from complex data, with applications in ecology/biodiversity, neuroscience, environmental health, criminal justice/fairness, and more. Aims to provide scientists and decision-makers with usable modeling frameworks, algorithms, and code. Also interested in new inference frameworks and studying their theoretical properties.
