About Me

I am currently a PhD student at the Statistics department with a minor in Computational Sciences at Penn State University, advised by Dr. David R, Hunter. I received my B.S. in Mathematics, advised by Dr. Detlef Dürr, in 2012 and my M.S. in Statistics, advised by Dr. Göran Kauermann, in 2015 from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. Currently, I am finishing my PhD (expected summer 2021). In my thesis I develop new methods to improve estimation for Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM).

I am happily married and I live with my wife and son in Charlottesville, Virginia.
