Published multiple academic papers including 'Latent Structure and Causality: Inference from Data' (2025) and 'Honest confidence sets for high-dimensional regression by projection and shrinkage' (2023). Involved in research projects related to causal discovery, Bayesian network learning, and more.
Research Experience
Currently a Professor and Chair of Statistics and Data Science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and a faculty member of the Graduate Program in Bioinformatics.
Background
Research interests include causal machine learning, bioinformatics, high-dimensional statistics, and Monte Carlo methods. In causal machine learning, developing statistical and machine learning methods for causal discovery from large-scale, high-dimensional data; in bioinformatics, developing methodologies for the efficient analysis of large-scale, high-throughput genomic data; in high-dimensional statistics, interested in uncertainty quantification for regularized sparse estimators; in Monte Carlo methods, developing techniques to estimate the statistical and topological structures of a probability distribution.
