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.
