Research Interests
As a statistician, I like to develop and apply statistical methodologies and tools to solve problems which are grounded in real-life scenarios. My broad area of research is Bayesian Analysis and its
applications to problems arising in diverse disciplines like Biology, Environments and Economics. So far
I have worked on problems related to Cancer research, Income pattern modelling, Disease mapping and sparse data analysis in survey sampling. I would also like to explore methodological
and applied research in Business related areas like Marketing, HR, Finance etc.
