Research Areas
My research interests lie in probability theory, distributional approximation, and Stein’s method. I am particularly interested in developing probabilistic approximation techniques and applying them to both theoretical and practical problems.
My current research includes normal and Poisson approximation, approximate zero-bias transformations, random sums, random walks, and applications of Stein’s method.
