About me

I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Statistics and Data Science, Yale University. I will be entering my 5th year in Fall 2021. During my doctoral studies at Yale, I have been fortunate to be mentored by Prof. Yihong Wu.

Prior to this, I spent five wonderful years at Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata, completing my Bachelors of Statistics (B.Stat.) and Masters of Statistics (M.Stat.) with specialization in Theoretical Statistics. For my Master’s dissertation, I worked on minimum distance estimators that can avoid Kernel smoothing in the estimation process, under the watchful guidance of Prof. Ayanendranath Basu.

Research interests

I am broadly interested in theoretical and methodological aspects of Statistics and Machine learning, including

• High dimensional problems
• Markov decision process
• Non-convex penalties
• Non-parametric estimation
• Mixture modeling
• Support recovery
• Markov chains
• Spectral analysis
