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.

My research interests:

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

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