Interests
My interests span the following areas. First, Bayesian statistics. I am interested in both the development of novel computational methods for Bayesian inference, including Bayesian online learning, and Bayesian modeling. Second, I am interested in the intersection of network science and statistics, in particular, designing statistical procedures to detect the presence of structures in networks. Third, I work on problems in quantitative finance, with a focus on empirical market microstructure. This involves using high-frequency, market by order, data to understand the dynamics of price formation on exchanges. Of particular interest to me here are live experiments conducted on accessible crypto exchanges such as Binance and Bybit.
