RESEARCH INTEREST
I am working in the field of real valued and infinite dimensional temporal data analysis – including but not restricted to diagnostics, optimization, and forecasting. Keen interest in statistics and mathematics drives my work towards amalgamation of theoretical fundamentals with empirical frameworks in modeling of live business problems. So far I have worked on creating customizable forecast ensembles, reconstructing nonparametric functional time series data generating process, variance modeling and prediction in cross sectional data, and hyperparameters analysis in artificial neural networks.
