I am a PhD student at Texas A&M University. I am with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
I received my Master's and B.Sc. from Sharif University of Technology in 2013 and 2011, respectively.
My research lies at the intersection of Bayesian statistics and machine learning. I am interested in developing statistical theory and methods for biomedical applications.
Research Highlights:
- The paper "BNP-Seq: Bayesian nonparametric differential expression analysis of sequencing count data," co-authored with Mingyuan Zhou and Xiaoning Qian, is accepted for publication in Journal of the American Statistical Association. R code will follow soon. Using the gamma/beta negative binomial process, we remove sophisticated ad-hoc pre-processing steps commonly required in existing algorithms. Please take a look at our paper and code if you are interested in differential expression analysis of sequencing counts.
