Teaching and Research Interests / Recent Publications or Scholarly Output
My teaching centers on statistics, probability, and computing/data science, with an emphasis on using computation and simulation to connect theory to real applications. My research interests include saddlepoint approximation and statistical inference, particularly equivalence testing in exponential families, with related interests in actuarial science, machine learning, and mathematics education.

Recent scholarly output: Renren Zhao and Paige Robert, “Optimal Equivalence Testing in Exponential Families,” Statistical Papers.
