Elizabeth (Betsy) Bersson

I am a postdoctoral fellow in Tamara Broderick’s group at MIT. In May 2024, I received my PhD from the Department of Statistical Science at Duke University under the supervision of Peter Hoff. My work is related to hierarchical modeling, covariance estimation, small area estimation, and conformal prediction.

Outside of statistics, I enjoy reading, going on walks, particularly through gardens, and vegetable gardening. As Cicero [said], “If you have a garden and a library, everything will be complete” !
