Research Overview
My research interests are in the fields of statistics, data mining, and machine learning. My research focuses on the development of statistical and machine learning methods that are able to automatically handle time-varying population distributions, and can reveal temporal structure in the data. I am particularly interested in applications which involve data arriving sequentially and at a high frequency relative to the available storage and processing capabilities.
