Assistant Professor

About Me

I am a machine learning researcher. My current core research area lies in ensemble learning algorithms including boosting, bagging and random forest. I use ideas from statistical learning theory to analyze and develop machine learning algorithms for problems such as regression, classification, density estimation, clustering, and anomaly detection.
