I completed my PhD in statistics at McGill University in 2006. My research interests are in survival analysis and other medical applications of statistics. My thesis is entitled, "Stationarity in a prevalent cohort study with follow-up". I have recently started working on statistically based election audit models. I am also interested in sports statistics and Bayesian methodology. |

Personal
My wife Isadora is from Golden, Colorado, and she is completing her PhD in School Psychology at the
University of Minnesota. We have now been together for 7 years and just got married in June 2007.
We both love hockey (Isadora the Colorado Avalanche and myself the Montreal Canadiens). I am also
a huge football (NY Jets) and baseball (I miss the Montreal Expos, ... ) fan. Oh, and I am an avid
fantasy sports player.
I used to really like John Grisham books, and still find the time every now and then to read some. I love
reading the Harry Potter books, and, on an unrelated note, found Moneyball by Michael Lewis to be an
incredible book. This is what got me interested in sports statistics, and I would love to read some Bill
James if I get the time. Another good read with a statistical flavour is Freakonomics.
Isadora and I added a new member to our family almost two years ago and we absolutely adore her!
Here are some new pictures of our little kitten, Grigia (pronounced "Gree-ja").
