Robin Liu
I hold a PhD from UC Santa Barbara’s department of Statistics and Applied Probability. My academic work involves developing statistical methods for high-dimensional multivariate data. I have worked on covariance estimation, graphical models, and change point detection with applications ranging from genomics and neuroscience to econometrics.
I currently work as a research scientist in industry. I have also previously worked as a software developer in financial services.
My legal name is spelled with a “u” as in “Ruobin”, but it is still pronounced “Robin”.
