Summary
My research has focused on the development of machine learning methods for big and high dimensional data and their applications in healthcare and business. I have established a research agenda at the intersection of Statistics, Machine Learning, and Business. Throughout my work, I employ both model-oriented and data-oriented thinking processes to investigate the way in which statistics can help our understanding of the data.
