Biography
My broad research focus is on Extreme Value Theory (EVT), a branch of probability and statistics that deals with the analysis of extreme and rare events. My narrower research interest lies in the intersection of EVT, spatial statistics and Bayesian statistics. I primarily work with environmental datasets.
I am currently a final-year PhD candidate at EPFL under the supervision of Prof. Anthony Davison.
