Research Overview

I have a general and broad interest in Bayesian computations, from both a methodological and an applied perspective. From a methodological perspective, I am interested in posterior simulation methods, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo, Sequential Monte Carlo, particle Markov chain Monte Carlo, Variational approximations, and Approximate Bayesian computation methods. From an applied perspective, I use Bayesian computational methods to solve real-world problems in many areas, such as economic inequality and poverty measurement, health, cognitive psychology, finance, economics, and environmental studies.
