About me

I am currently a Statistics PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley. I am a member of the Statistical AI Lab (SAIL), work in the AMP Lab in EECS, and am advised by Mike Jordan.

My research interests include the design and study of Bayesian nonparametric models, with particular emphasis on admixtures (a.k.a. feature models, topic models, or mixed membership models), as well as general exchangeable feature models.
