I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at Simon Fraser University. Before SFU, I did my PhD in Statistics at Columbia University, where I was advised by Tian Zheng. Before that, I got a BA in Maths from Trinity College Dublin.

I am interested in computational statistics and applying statistical methods to solve important scientific questions. Recent work has focused on network data, including inferring social hierarchy from event streams on networks and evaluation methods for network embeddings.

I am always interested in collaborations and love to chat about interesting problems.
