Noah Ripstein

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

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.

I’m currently taking a post-bachelor year of advanced statistics and math courses to prepare for my graduate studies.

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