I am a psychometrician/statistician and data scientist, serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the University of Toronto. I am interested in applying advances from machine learning, statistics, and causal inference literature to answer novel research questions and improve research methods & practice in behavioral, educational, and social sciences research. I am also interested in what roles AI can play around these topics.

I am an affiliated faculty member of the Collaborative Program in Neuroscience(CPIN), Center for Smart Learning and Development(CSLD), and Data Sciences Institute(DSI) here at the University of Toronto. I serve on the editorial board of journals such as Behavior Research Methods and Psychological Review.

Before joining the University of Toronto in 2023, I worked as a research data scientist at Google. 

I received my Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.
