Research interests

I am interested in all areas of computational statistics, probability and stochastic processes. Some topics I have worked on are the following:

  • numerical solution of SPDEs
  • MCMC methods, in particular in infinite dimensional spaces
  • Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC)
  • a parameter estimation problem in psychology
  • probability distributions on the torus
  • large deviations for diffusion processes
