STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
My main research interest lies in the field of nonparametric analysis. In particular, I enjoy examining problems involving data compression, cleaning up (“denoising”) contaminated signals, image reconstruction, and nonparametric function estimation. One of my preferred tools for examining these real-world problems is wavelet analysis. These wave-like functions excel at extracting the important information from a signal, and do so in a fast and efficient manner.

I am continually surprised at the places statistics keeps popping up. It seems no field of study, from signal analysis to human behavior, is exempt from analysis via common or not-so-common statistical methods. This is what I find exciting about statistics, and why I choose to study it.
