Teaching

In Univ I teach all the first year and second year core courses in probability and statistics. In Hilary 2018 I will be teaching Advanced Simulations Methods for Part C and MSc students in the Department of Statistics.

Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of applied probability, statistics, and computer science. I am interested in the investigation of fundamental principles to perform scalable inference, learning, and optimization in high-dimensional models, and in the design and analysis of algorithms in distributed machine learning, with applications to graphical models and Monte Carlo methods.
