Dr Fan Wang

I am a Research Fellow at the Centre for Research in Statistical Methodology (CRiSM) at the University of Warwick. Before this, I completed my PhD at the University of Warwick under the supervision of Professor Yi Yu Link opens in a new windowin 2024. I obtained my Master's degree in Mathematical Statistics (Part III) from the University of Cambridge in 2020 and my Bachelor's degree in Advanced Mathematics from the University of Sydney in 2018.
