Biography
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at Oregon State University. Before joining Oregon State University in the Spring 2015, I was a post-doctoral research scholar in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Berkeley. I completed my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Peter J. Bickel. Before that, I completed B.Stat and M.Stat from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.
