Research Interests: Statistics and machine learning

Overview

Our research interests include problems at the interface of statistics, machine learning, and AI, such as uncertainty quantification, AI safety, robustness, high-dimensional asymptotic statistics, etc.

The group is always looking to expand. We are recruiting PhD students at Penn to work on problems in statistics and machine learning. PhD applicants interested to work with me should mention this on their application. Please apply through the departments of Statistics & Data Science, Computer and Information Science, and the AMCS program, as it gives higher chances for admission.
