I am an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Biostatistics,
Statistics, and Epidemiology in the Colleges of Public Health
and Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky.

I received a B.S. in Mathematics and M.S. in Statistics from California State University, East Bay, an M.S. in Epidemiology and Ph.D. in Statistics from U.C. Davis. My dissertation advisor was Wes Johnson.

My research interests include Bayesian (nonparametric) modeling, evaluation of biological markers and diagnostic tests for disease detection, and epidemiology.
