I got my PhD in Applied Mathematics from Brown University in 2007. I joined the City University of HK in Dec 2016, after 7 years as an assistant professor in Nanyang Technological University and then 2 years as a senior lecturer at the university of New South Wales. My research interest include high-dimensional data analysis, distributed statistical estimation for large data, Bayesian statistics and functional data analysis.
I am interested in taking PhD students to work in the area of statistics, machine learning, and optimization. General requirements are the following:
1. Undergraduate degree in math/stat with GPA >=85/100 from a 985 university (or equivalent). Master degree is not necessary but a master degree from a good university is a great plus.
2. English requirement: TOEFL>=79 or IELTS>=6.5 or CET 6>=490, unless your first degree was obtained from an institution where the language of teaching is English
