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. Here is a recent version of my CV. |

Personal
My wife Isadora is from Golden, Colorado, and she is completing her PhD in School Psychology at the
University of Minnesota. We have been together for 8 years and 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. I am hoping Brett Favre has one
more good season left in him! 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 member to our family almost three years ago and we absolutely adore her!
Here are some pictures of our little kitten, Grigia (pronounced "Gree-ja").
