17 September, 2018, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) at IIM Bangalore will host a research seminar titled: ‘Bayesian methods for graphical model estimation and graph clustering in high dimensions’, on September 19 (Wednesday), 2018, from 02.30 pm. The talk will be delivered by Dr. Sayantan Banerjee, IIM Indore.
Dr. Sayantan Banerjee is an Assistant Professor in the area of Operations Management & Quantitative Techniques at IIM Indore.
He holds a PhD in Statistics from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA. He specializes in Bayesian Statistics, and his PhD thesis focused on Bayesian inference for high-dimensional models, dealing with both theoretical properties and computational issues for high-dimensional statistical models, most importantly, for high-dimensional graphical models. His PhD thesis received the 2015 L.J. Savage Award (Honorable mention) for the best dissertation in Bayesian Statistical Science (Theory & Methods), presented by the International Society for Bayesian Analysis.
His research interests include Bayesian Inference, Bayesian Nonparametrics, Graphical Models, High-dimensional Models, and Multivariate Analysis.
His teaching interests include Statistical Inference, Bayesian Inference, and Statistical Methods.
Prior to joining IIM Indore, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biostatistics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, USA. He worked on high-dimensional biological datasets and Bayesian inference for graphical models.
He has recently won the INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship Award presented by DST, Government of India. Apart from the award for best PhD dissertation, he has won several research and travel awards including the highly competitive awards like the Best Student Paper Award in Bayesian Statistical Science, presented by the American Statistical Association, and the National Science Foundation (NSF) travel award for presenting in the 9th Conference on Bayesian Nonparametrics, Amsterdam, both in 2013.
