I'm a fifth year Ph.D. Student in the Department of Statistics at University of California, Berkeley. Broadly, my research interests fall under the heading of high-dimensional statistics. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the behavior of classical statistical procedures in high-dimensional settings. I've also studied dimensionality-reduction procedures under assumptions of non-Gaussian data.
