I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistical Sciences at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. My research focuses on questions in (Bayesian) statistical workflow and methodology. Recently, I've been thinking about:

  • What are the fundamental trade-offs involved in increasing the complexity and dimensionality of our models?
  • When faced with large amounts of statistical uncertainty, how can we best explain the source of that uncertainty?
  • How can statistical software better support statistical practice, especially in the interpretation of model outputs?

I also like to think about ways of improving statistics education with technology. I'm currently in the process of building LearnStatsNow.com, a collection of web-based interactive activities that can be used in the introductory statistics classroom.
