Areas of Interest
Statistics, machine learning, causal inference
Research
My research interests encompass statistics, machine learning, and data science. I develop and analyze predictive and inferential tools for complex data problems such as imbalanced classes, high-dimensional data, transfer learning, and observational studies. My focus is on designing theoretically sound and efficient learning algorithms that address sample, time, and space complexity challenges.
I aim to enhance the trustworthiness and reliability of statistics and machine learning methods, particularly in critical domains like healthcare. My work includes developing user-friendly prediction tools with built-in confidence measures and methods for individualized estimation, prediction, and recommendation from observational and interventional data.
