Background
Ph.D. (2013) Statistics, University of Florida
B.S. (2007) Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Auburn University
I joined the Department of Bioinformatics & Biostatistics at UofL in the fall of 2013 at the rank of Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure in July 2019.
Research Interests
My primary research interests include longitudinal data, missing data models, covariance/correlation estimation, joint modeling of mixed data types, Bayesian methodology, and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. I also collaborate with the Department of OB/GYN and Women's Health, the Department of Radiation Oncology, and the Commonwealth Institute of Kentucky.
Teaching
PHST 661 - Probability
PHST 662 - Mathematical Statistics
