Mathematics

Areas of interest

Broadly interested in topics of applied statistics and probability, particularly focusing on:

  • Hidden Markov models, Stochastic models, Econometrics
  • Statistical computing, Applied statistics, data science, distributed computations
  • Stochastic networks, Limit theorems

Research projects

  • Questions related with regime switching processes and causal dynamical systems
  • Time series, stochastic models and exploring their long-term behaviours and forecasting related predictive analysis
  • Problems related with stochastic models on dynamic networks such as finding mutual friends' growth rates in Preferential Attachment random graphs, scale free graphs and related statistical questions on link predictions, etc.
  • Building statistical methodologies using alternative Bayesian principles such as Generalized Fiducial Inference, distributional inferences, etc. in contexts of different statistical applications.

Background

I was affiliated as a researcher in the ESD cluster, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) from December 2019 to December 2021. I was a postdoc in the Insurance Mathematics group of Matstat, Stockholm University (2017-19), and University of Copenhagen (2015-17) as well.

I did PhD in Statistics from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA) in 2015 under supervisions of Prof. Amarjit Budhiraja and Prof. Jan Hannig and the title of my thesis was “Long time asymptotics of some weakly interacting particle systems and higher order asymptotics of generalized Fiducial distribution."

I did B-Stat and M-Stat from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.

Academic qualifications

  • PhD in Statistics (2015) from STOR, UNC Chapel Hill
  • B-Stat (2007), M-Stat (2009) from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata
