04/2025: New preprint "Tracy-Widom, Gaussian, and Bootstrap: Approximations for Leading Eigenvalues in High-Dimensional PCA" with Miles E. Lopes available. 📝
03/2025: I had a great time at the German Stochastic Days in Dresden, with many inspiring discussions and talks. My talk, based on joint work with Miles Lopes (UC Davis), concerned different approximations in high-dimensional PCA. Moreover, Tim Kutta (AU) presented our joint project on rapid change point detection for time series. It was wonderful to meet with old friends and make new connections. Now, back in Aarhus, I cannot wait to implement the ideas I gathered during the conference. 🤝
03/2025: Our work entitled "A CLT for the difference of eigenvalue statistics of sample covariance matrices" has been accepted for publication in Bernoulli. 📝
02/2025: Recently, I had the exciting opportunity to give my inaugural lecture at Aarhus University. It was a truly special day for me. Looking back on my journey feels almost surreal. Growing up in a working-class family and being the first in my family to earn an academic degree—to now giving an inaugural lecture as a newly appointed assistant professor in mathematical statistics—is something my 16-year-old self would have found astonishing. I feel very fortunate and deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way. 🙏
01/2025: I am looking forward to give an invited talk at EcoSta 2025. ⭐
