Research Interests

My research interests are primarily in statistical machine learning, including

• Scalable algorithms for massive data sets

• Multivariate analysis and dimensionality reduction in large data sets

• Data mining and selective inference

• Methods for stable estimation and inference in heavy-tailed data

• Ecological statistics and the so-called “presence-only problem”
