I have an MS in Mathematics from the University of Bucharest, Romania, and a Ph. D. in Statistics from the University of Washington, Seattle (2000, with Jon Wellner ). I joined the faculty at FSU in 2000.

My research interests include machine learning and empirical processes theory. The theoretical analysis of computationally efficient methods for model selection and averaging (aggregation) in a variety of high dimensional semiparametric and nonparametric models is of particular interest. I have recently become interested in inference in high dimensional matrix models and low rank matrix completion. I am currently working on a number of projects involving the development of new methodology for the analysis of data arising from Neuroscience mental health studies.
