About me
PhD candidate in astrophysics. I spend my days doing statistics on messy, incomplete, correlated data — galaxy catalogs where nothing is clean and every error bar has to be defended. I bring that standard to your data: the right test (not the default one), error bars that mean something, corrections for multiple testing and selection effects, and an honest answer when the data can't support the claim you want. I write reproducible Python code and explain results in plain language for non-statisticians. If your work will be reviewed by someone skeptical, I'd rather be that person first.... Read more

Statistical analysis of large astronomical catalogs: messy, incomplete, correlated data where every error bar has to be defended before a referee. Work spans spatial statistics, catalog cross-matching, and hypothesis testing under realistic data quality constraints, transitioning that rigor into applied data science and statistical consulting.
