Research Interests:

My research involves applying modern techniques of statistics and machine learning to the analysis of large astronomical datasets. My recent work has focused on identifying galaxy morphologies, estimating distances to galaxies, detecting astronomical sources, and estimating the foreground component in cosmic microwave background observations.
