Who Am I:

An astrophysics PhD (University of Chicago) working as an astrostatistician at Carnegie Mellon University. I work with

and other members of the International Computational Astrostatics (InCA) collaboration.

Projects:

I am working or have worked on these problems:

Cosmic Microwave Background

Checking the effect of CMB map-making parameters upon observed CMB asymmetries (paper)
Nonparametric estimation of CMB foregrounds (with related work on CMB nongaussianities)

Nonlinear Data Transformation

Using diffusion maps to . .

. . . estimate spectroscopic redshifts of SDSS galaxies and to detect outliers (paper)
. . . estimate photometric redshifts of SDSS and DEEP2 galaxies (paper)
. . . estimate properties of SDSS galaxies (paper)
. . . study galaxy morphology
. . . classify supernovae

Supernovae

Dark energy inference (paper)
Inferring the velocity field of the local universe

Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST)
