Yi Yu 于怡

 

 

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics, University of Warwick and a Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, previously a Lecturer in the University of Bristol, a postdoc of Professor Richard Samworth and a graduate student of Professor Zhiliang Ying. I obtained my academic degrees from Fudan University (B.Sc. in Mathematics, June 2009 and Ph.D. in Mathematical Statistics, June 2013).


My research interests are high-dimensional statistics and network studies. I have been working on theoretical, methodological and computational aspects of variable selection, post-selection inference and tuning parameter selection in regression problems, survival analysis, network analysis, and time series analysis.


My research is partially funded by DMS-EPSRC: Change Point Detection and Localization in High-Dimensions: Theory and Methods (EP/V013432/1).

I will be teaching Financial Statistics in 2020-21 in the University of Warwick, and the High-Dimensional Statistics module in the Academy for PhD Training in Statistics.


In Term 1, 2020-21, starting from Week 2, I hold office hours on Microsoft Teams in the following slots: (1) 8-9am, Wednesdays and (2) 11am-12pm, Fridays.
