Robin Liu

I am a fifth year PhD candidate at UC Santa Barbara in the department of Statistics and Applied Probability.

My research 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.

Before joining UCSB in Fall 2020, I worked as a software developer in financial services. Before that, I got my Bachelor’s degrees from the University of Michigan where I double-majored in computer science and honors mathematics (295-396 series).

My legal name is spelled with a “u” as in “Ruobin”, but it is still pronounced “Robin”.
