I am an Associate Professor of Data Sciences and Operations in the University of Southern California. I am a member of the USC Marshall Statistics Group. My research interests are in statistical theory and applications. On the theory side, I am interested in statistical decision theory and on research projects that involve rigorous analysis of the optimality of statistical methods. On the applied side, I had previously worked on single-cell virology problems. I am currently interested in contemporary applications of statistics in marketing and management sciences. The applied and theory interests often bootstrap each other stimulating interesting new research perspectives. Some details about these activities can be found in my bio page and an indexing of all my papers are in my Google Scholar page. The links to published papers and preprints can be accessed from my research page.

I am currently the coordinator for the Statistics and Data Science PhD program at USC’s Marshall School of Business. Click here (SDS PhD Program) to know more about the PhD program.
