I am interested in both theory, methods, and applications of statistics. My area of expertise is Functional Data Analysis, but I am also interested in High-Dimensional Statistics, Stochastic Processes, Time Series Analysis, Multiple Testing, and Shrinkage Estimation. Recently, I've become increasingly interested in methodological developments driven by applications in Phonetics, Imaging, and Biophysics.
