I'm an Associate Professor of Data Science and Statistics at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a Professor of Mathematics at Queens College (QC), CUNY in New York City (on leave). My Ph.D. and Masters is in Statistics from Wharton / UPenn. My doctoral thesis and current research program concentrates on improving the design of randomized experiments. We recently proved Pairwise Matching designs are optimal nearly for general outcome metrics (see here). I also develop EDI (Experimental Design and Inference), an R package that pairs fixed and sequential experimental designs with the exact, asymptotic, and distribution-free inference procedures valid for each design across continuous, incidence, count, proportion, survival, and ordinal outcomes.
Before graduate school, I was a software engineer building web applications. I still use these skills to run social science experiments and I'm interested in investigating racism and other types of discrimination (e.g. see here). My undergrad was in mathematics & computational science at Stanford.
I have a special love for teaching and mentoring. I helped to create and now administer QC's undergrad Data Science and Statistics concentration. My QC undergraduate alumni have gone on to data science, data engineering, data analyst, deployment strategist and actuary careers at Wells Fargo, Palantir, Amazon, NASA, Grant Thornton, Webster Bank, various tech startups, startup founders. Some of them continued to PhD programs at NYU, Columbia, Rutgers and Drexel.
I can't maintain all the pages of this website, so most of their information are all contained in my CV. For a printable PDF of my most recent CV, click here. My github is here. I'm also available for private tutoring (in advanced mathematics, computer science, data science) and data science consulting which I've done for Tesorio and Coatue Management among others.
