I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, advised by Prof. Athanasios Kottas. I am broadly interested in statistical methods and tools to address scientific questions in the economy, health science, and social science. Currently, I work on developing flexible Bayesian nonparametric models with efficient inference algorithms for cross-sectional and longitudinal ordinal regression. The proposed methodology has real applications in analyzing customers’ reviews, companies’ credit ratings, and respondents to questionnaires.
