Research Interests

My general research interests include Mathematical Statistics, Biostatistics, and Statistical and Computational Learning Theory. Some recent works include recurrent events analysis in the area of biostatistics; and theoretical aspects of mixtures and hierarchical mixtures of experts in the area of statistical learning.
