Statistical Laboratory, |
I am a PhD student at the Statistical Laboratory, which is part of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge. I am also a member of Hughes Hall. My PhD supervisor is Dr. Richard Samworth. I help running the Cambridge Statistics Clinic fortnightly. Please feel free to email us if you are a member of the university and need statistical consulting services.
My current research interests include shape-constrained density estimation, time series analysis and statistical computing.
Here is a list of my publications and preprints:

Here is a list of talks I gave previously:

- Smoothed log-concave maximum likelihood estimation. Research Students' Conference in Probability and Statistics, Cambridge, U.K., 2011.
In Michaelmas 2012-2013, I am the TA of Part III course Applied Statistics. Previously, I have supervised Part IB course Statistics, Part II courses Principles of Statistics and Statistical Modelling.
