About Me

Hey there, I’m Christian. I’m a third-year Ph.D student at the University of California, San Diego. My research interests are in wearables, N-of-1 trials, and Bayesian statistics. I like writing and teaching about statistics and research on Substack. Outside of research, I enjoy going to the gym, language learning, and wood working. My goal before graduating is to get a manuscript accepted into a top journal.

Current Work

• Bayesian Networks & N-of-1 Trials: incorporating Bayesian networks as an alternative method for analyzing N-of-1 trial data
• The Platform-of-1 Design: a new N-of-1 design incorporating elements of a platform trial

Past Projects

• Wrote several statistics and machine learning courses for Dataquest, with over 70,000 students learning from my work

Skills

• Languages/Libraries: R, Python, SQL, Stan, Shiny, Pytorch
