About
My current postdoc, with Jo Eidsvik, focus on spatio-temporal modelling where the main research projects are from:
-
Center for Geophysical Forecasting (SFI-CGF) (https://www.ntnu.edu/cgf)
Prior joining NTNU, I did a postdoc in biostatistics with Jukka Corander at department of Biostatistics, University of Oslo.
Research topics:
- State-space model: Kalman filtering; reservoir inversion.
- Statistical machine learning: sparse regression; continual learning; low-rank matrix estimation & completion; Bayesian inference, PAC-Bayesian analysis.
- Biostatistics: drug sensivetivity prediction, multi-omics data, heritability, genetic co-variability, bacterial GWAS.
