Elizabeth (Betsy) Bersson

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation at the University of Chicago working on property tax policy. 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. I have also spent time working with Tamara Broderick at MIT.

Outside of statistics, I enjoy reading, going on walks through gardens, and cycling.
