Hello, my name is Ameer. I am a fourth-year PhD Candidate in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Washington supervised by Professors Daniela Witten and Jon Wakefield. In August 2026 I will be joining the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University as an Assistant Professor. My research focuses on developing strategies for selective inference and predictive model uncertainty quantification that are applicable in complex data settings and/or with small sample sizes. I also actively work on collaborative projects in demography and global development that aim to estimate various population indicators (e.g., mortality, fertility, and school completion rates) at national and subnational levels.

Previously, I worked as a research and data consultant for the Global Education Monitoring Report at UNESCO. I completed my Master of Science in Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto and my Bachelor of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo.

For more about my academic and professional experiences, please see my Portfolio and CV. I am always looking for interesting collaborations so if you have a project in mind, please do feel free to reach out!

A Little About Me Personally

Outside of my work, I like to ice skate, play squash, run, bake, and really enjoy a good book.

Thanks for reading!
