My research group conducts research in the following areas of statistics and machine learning:
- high-dimensional data (big n and/or big p)
- Bayesian methodology and computation
- deep learning and generative models
- scalable optimization and computer-driven sampling algorithms.
My CV is attached here. You can also find me on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google Scholar.
