Research Areas:

My research focuses on sequential decision-making, including multiple testing, change-point detection, adaptive experimental design, and contextual bandits. I also work on statistical inference in high-dimensional and nonstandard settings, with interests in U-statistics, regression with thresholded covariates, and inference under covariate-adaptive designs. More recently, I have been interested in statistical inference for and with generative models, particularly conditional generative models and their use in hypothesis testing.
