I am a professor of statistics at The University of Texas McCombs School of Business. My research focuses on Bayesian statistics in high-dimensional problems with applications ranging from finance to genetics. Some of my current projects include work on causal inference, machine learning, policy evaluation and empirical asset pricing.

I am also the Executive Director of the Salem Center for Policy, a unit dedicate to support research, education, and dialogue around the impact of economic policies on markets and the free enterprise system.
