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, as well as applied problems in observational causal inference. Recently, I've been thinking about:
- How can we better utilize our prior information for model criticism, especially when models are large and data is limited?
- 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 and promoting statistics education. At Wake, I help run the Sports Statistics Research Team (SSTART), which facilitates undergraduate research projects using sports data. I'm also currently in the process of building LearnStatsNow.com, a collection of web-based interactive activities that can be used in the introductory statistics classroom.
