About me

I am Koulik, a PhD student at Department Of Statistics, UC Berkeley. I am fortunate to be jointly advised by Professor Martin J. Wainwright and Professor Michael I. Jordan. I am entering my fifth year in Fall 2020. Before coming to Berkeley I finished my Undergraduate and Masters in Statistics from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. In 2019, I spent a wonderful summer at Amazon, working with Professor Dean Foster.

Research interest

My research interests are broadly in staistics, machine learning and optimization. In particular, I have worked on problems related to Gaussian mixture models, EM algorithm, non-convex optimization, factor analysis, stochastic algorithms, reinforcement learning and inference with adaptively collected data.
