I  do research in Bayesian statistics. In recent years my focus has been Bayesian methods in official statistics and their use in National Statistical Offices of low- and middle-income countries. I have a lot of experience working in official statistics due to my multiple roles working at the National Statistical Office in Colombia and also as a consultant and technical advisor for international non-governmental organizations.

​

In UC Davis, my junior faculty position has been supported by a Campos Scholar granted by the UC Davis Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Science, or CAMPOS. The center focuses on building diversity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
