Areas of Interest/Research
My core research interests lie in several aspects of high-dimensional Bayesian inference – encompassing methodology, asymptotics, and computation. A key research focus is estimation of covariance matrices in sample-starved settings using sparsity or other low-dimensional structures. On the computational front, I am particularly interested in the development and analysis of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. In recent years, I have developed a growing interest in applying statistical methods to macroeconomic forecasting.
Additionally, I have been involved in several collaborative and interdisciplinary projects with researchers from a range of fields, including chemistry, neuroscience, pharmacy, animal science and molecular biology.
