David Donoho
Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences
BioDavid Donoho is a mathematician who has made fundamental contributions to theoretical and computational statistics, as well as to signal processing and harmonic analysis. His algorithms have contributed significantly to our understanding of the maximum entropy principle, of the structure of robust procedures, and of sparse data description.
Research Statement:
My theoretical research interests have focused on the mathematics of statistical inference and on theoretical questions arising in applying harmonic analysis to various applied problems. My applied research interests have ranged from data visualization to various problems in scientific signal processing, image processing, and inverse problems. -
John Duchi
Assistant Professor of Statistics and of Electrical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests span statistics, machine learning, computation, and optimization. Modern techniques for data gathering have yielded extraordinary mass and diversity of data. Yet the amount of data is no panacea; it is challenging to identify the best ways to analyze and make inferences from information we collect. How can we balance multiple criteria--such as computation, communication, or privacy--while maintaining statistical performance?

Percy Liang
Associate Professor of Computer Science and, by courtesy, of Statistics
BioFields: machine learning, natural language processing.
Topics: unsupervised learning, structured prediction, statistical learning theory, grounded language acquisition, compositional semantics, program induction.
Learning semantics: Natural language allows us to express complex ideas using a few words, but the actual semantics are rarely directly observed. We therefore model the expressive semantics of language as programs whose execution produces observed data, and develop algorithms to learn these programs from indirect supervision. -
Andrea Montanari
Professor of Electrical Engineering, of Statistics and, by courtesy, of Mathematics
BioI am interested in developing efficient algorithms to make sense of large amounts of noisy data, extract information from observations, estimate signals from measurements. This effort spans several disciplines including statistics, computer science, information theory, machine learning.
I am also working on applications of these techniques to healthcare data analytics. -

Julia Palacios
Assistant Professor of Statistics and of Biomedical Data Science
BioDr. Palacios seek to provide statistically rigorous answers to concrete, data driven questions in evolutionary genetics and public health . My research involves probabilistic modeling of evolutionary forces and the development of computationally tractable methods that are applicable to big data problems. Past and current research relies heavily on the theory of stochastic processes, Bayesian nonparametrics and recent developments in machine learning and statistical theory for big data.

Laura Marie J Symul
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Statistics
BioLaura Symul has obtained her PhD in computational biology from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, where she has worked on the molecular regulation of the circadian clock. In particular she explored the regulation of rhythmic gene expression and protein translation combining analyses of -omics data with mathematical models describing the regulatory dynamics to infer quantities otherwise not measurable.
Laura Symul has also specialized in the visualization of data and, during her industry experience, has helped companies to take data-driven decisions.
As a postdoctoral fellow, her research focuses on assessing menstrual health, including fertility and cycle-related symptoms occurrence, with self-tracked data from mobile phone apps and devices. -
