Joseph Ho
I am a first-year PhD student in the Statistics Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) at the University of Warwick. My research interests lie in statistical methodology and their applications in Machine Learning. I am currently working on stochastic control and reinforcement learning.
Prior to joining Warwick, I completed a BSc in Mathematics with Statistics at Imperial College London in 2024 and a Master of Advanced Study (Part III) in Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge in 2025. My Part III essay Out-of-distribution Generalisation, supervised by Prof. Rajen Shah, is focused on recent advances on extrapolation problems in regression settings. While completing my studies at Imperial College London, I was a student developer and administrator of the student-led initiative Imperial MathsWiki (requires Imperial credentials to access full content), a repository of module summaries and information written from past students (including me!).
Along with my academic pursuits, I am an enthusiast in scribing notes in LaTeX and music in classical, choral, a cappella and pop genres. I am a pianist, percussionist, chorister, singer and music arranger. Recently I am learning the organ.
