Hi!
I’m an Assistant Professor of Teaching at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver in the Department of Statistics. I lead a research program focusing on predictive distributions: adapting methods in quantile regression, integrating extreme value modelling, and producing R packages with domain-specific languages. I apply these in consulting, especially in environmental applications such as flood forecasting.
My hobbies include outdoor recreation 🌲 such as hiking 👞, birding 🐦, skiing 🎿, fishing 🎣, canoeing 🚣, and others. I can also identify birds, and other things about nature.
Here are generic slides I use to introduce myself.
