Research area(s)

Broadly, the prime focus of my research is the interplay among probability theory, dynamical systems, and statistics.

Research Interests

I investigate

• statistical properties of dynamical systems and Markov processes,
• inferential statistics in the context of dynamical systems, and
• higher order asymptotics for limit theorems

using spectral theory and a combination of techniques from classical probability theory, stochastic analysis, statistics, and dynamical systems.

Recently, I have started looking at

• applications of machine learning to problems related to my main research interests.

So far, I have formed research connections not only with dynamicists and probabilists but also with machine learning researchers and statisticians, and I am actively searching for interdisciplinary research opportunities.
