I’m a PhD candidate in Statistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I am co-advised by Keith Levin and Karl Rohe. I study spectral methods for network analysis, causal inference, and causal inference on networks. You might know me from my work on broom, a popular open-source R package in the tidyverse.
I’m looking for a job as a post-doctoral researcher. To find out if we might be a good fit, take a look at my academic cv.
In a hobbyist capacity, I also blog about statistics, programming, and data. Some posts I’m particularly proud of:
- overfitting: a guided tour
- consistency and the linear probability model
- fairness in repeated lotteries
These days I’m enjoying the slow resurgence of academic Twitter on Bluesky. You can find me there at @alexpghayes.com.
