This image is a graphical representation of the Golden Ratio, φ=1.618. As can be seen, when the rectangle is repeatedly bisected using the golden ratio, a 90 degree arc placed in each successive larger section forms a perfect spiral. |

I am passionate about learning and reading, science, financial trading, learning, cutting-edge research, the human brain, classical music, and did I say learning? I am an experienced Statistical Modeler / Quantitative Analyst / Statistical Programmer with a wide variety of research interests. Topics for which I have research pending publication include: ∞ Robust kernel discriminant analysis — presented at HDM 2008. ∞ Multivariate regression under misspecification — presented at CLADAG 2009. ∞ Parametric and non-parametric mixture modeling — presented at istkon 5 and HDM 2008. ∞ Adaptive Kernel Mixture Modeling — presented at CSNA 2009. Statistics could be described as the science and art of extracting information from data in the presence of uncertainty — these days it’s from massive amounts of data. If I had to condense my interests in this domain into four bullet points, I would choose: ∞ Information Complexity — How do we gauge the information in some data? ∞ Model Selection — How do we choose a “best” model among many models that could fit some data? ∞ Robust Modeling — How can we handle departures from the typical assumptions? ∞ Statistical Computing — How do we actually apply the three above topics to real data to get real solutions? My Research Statement has more details. In addition to my exemplary academic career, I have worked several years in the private sector, including experience trading capital markets. |
