Resarch Group in Mathematical Statistics
`Uncertainty Quantification and Modern Statistical Inference (UQMSI)'
Our research group investigates the mathematical underpinnings of modern statistical inference problems, with a particular focus on uncertainty quantification methodology (such as confidence statements and tests) in high- and infinite dimensional models. The mathematics involved lies at the intersection of theoretical statistics, probability theory and analysis. Currently (2015-2020) we are supported by a Consolidator Grant of the European Research Council (ERC), and also by CCIMI and CCA.
