I am a statistician with research interests in cluster analysis, classification, and computational statistics. One major focus of my work concerns the development of flexible model-based clustering methods and statistical software for complex data, including missing data, data with skewness and outliers, and high-dimensional data. I also enjoy consulting for researchers across various fields; my past experience includes projects in public health, ecology, chemistry, education, nutrition, and business.
