Noah Ripstein

I’m an incoming Statistics PhD student at the University of Toronto. My research involves developing statistical methodology, computational techniques, and software to solve data-centric challenges in healthcare and science. I’ve enjoyed working on spatial statistics, Bayesian computation, and hierarchical models.

I completed my undergraduate degree in McMaster University’s interdisciplinary “Artsci” program, with combined honours in Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour, and a Math minor. I developed my deep interest in Statistics through computational neuroscience research, where I studied the “Bayesian brain hypothesis,” and worked on statistical models of human sensory perception and learning.

In my free time, I like to hike, canoe, play chess, and follow the stock market.
