RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests include the following areas:
  1. Computational Statistics.
    Development of novel methodology for sampling, integral estimation and filtering in stochastic models.
    Development of algorithms (Markov chain Monte Carlo MCMC, Adaptive MCMC, Trans-dimensional MCMC,
    Sequential Monte Carlo(SMC), non-linear filtering, Likelihood-free sampling methdology, Annealing and tempering, rare-event simulation).
  2. Bayesian Risk, Commodities, Insurance and Hedge Fund models.
    Development of novel Bayesian models for Operational Risk, Credit Risk, Commodities and Non-life insurance claims reserving.
    This involves introduction of copula based Bayesian models for correlation structures;
    estimation and calibration procedures;
    joint on-line parameter estimation and non-linear filtering;
    likelihood-free bootstrap procedures;
    Co-Integrated Vector Autoregression time series models;
    multivariate latent factor sde models.
  3. Stochastic Signal Processing and Wireless Communications.
    Development of novel Bayesian models for wireless communications.
    This includes development of models for coherent and incoherent channel estimation and detection for OFDM, MIMO and co-operative relay networks.
    Additionally, this involves methodological development of algorithms utilizing Stochastic Approximation, Adaptive MCMC, SMC Samplers, TD-MCMC, Likelihood-free inference.
