Hello, folks! Welcome to my home page. I am doing PhD at the Econometrics and Business Statistics Department of Monash University under the supervision of Rob J Hyndman and Di Cook. My dissertation focuses on building visualization and statistical tools for analyzing probability distributions of large time series data.

I’m passionate about putting to use statistics to solve real world problems and I almost always use R to do that.

Apart from my research, I spend my time learning Indian classical music, travelling in and around Melbourne and exploring cafes near me.

Be kind, remember you are collaborating with your future self
