Lasse Vuursteen

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, working with T. Tony Cai. My research mainly focuses on distributed methods in high-dimensional and nonparametric statistics, specifically from communication restricted, privacy and computational point of view.

Before that, I was a PhD student at the Delft University of Technology, under the supervision of Botond Szabó. Aad van der Vaart and Harry van Zanten. Click here to download my thesis.

My research interests:

High-dimensional, nonparametric and semi-parametric statistics, specifically:

• Distributed methods, information theory and privacy
• Bayesian methods
• Causal inference
• Minimax theory
