I am open to supervising projects in Bayesian methods, statistical computing, and/or applied statistics. Example topics might include, but are not limited to: – Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) and Riemannian manifold HMC: framing a Bayesian estimation problem as a dynamical system.– Probabilistic numerics: this is a way to quantify uncertainty in approximation of intractable integrals, … Read more
