This is a brief summary of my academic career.
University of California at Irvine
At UCI, I was a graduate student at the Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Sciences, which is part of the School of Social Sciences. My academic advisor was William H. Batchelder. My studies focused on mathematical psychology / psychometrics / econometrics / statistics, including Bayesian statistics, as well as on economics. I received my Ph.D. in August 2007. Below is a summary of the courses that I have taken:
| Subject area | Quarter hours | Equivalent semester hours | GPA |
