Hello! I’m an Assistant Professor of Teaching at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver in the Department of Statistics. I lead a research program and a consulting company focusing on evaluating uncertainty, especially in the context of risk. I use modern R packages, including my own, to generate insight. My application area tends to be in hydrology, but I work more generally in the space of environmental applications.
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.
