Chi-Kuang Yeh/葉啓光- PhD

Hello/你好! I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University jointly with the Department of Statisitcs and Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo, kindly sponsored by the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI). I was originally from Hsinchu (新竹) and Taipei (台北), Taiwan, and I lived in BC, Canada, for 12 years.
My office is: Room 1216 on the top floor in Burnside Hall.
Note: I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market! Besides, feel free to shoot me an email if you are interested in my work! Happy to chat about them. :)

Reserach Interests:

I possess a wide range of interests, but for now, my research is centred around:

Functional data analysis.
Statistical machine learning and high-dimensional statistical inference.
Dependence modeling.
Optimal design of experiment.
Applications include drug development, toxicology, neuroscience, to only name a few.
