I’m Ani, a 2nd year PhD student in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am fortune to be advised by Prof. Patrick Lopatto and Prof. Michael Kosorok. My research interests include precision medicine, causal inference, and adaptive policy learning.
I completed my Master of Statistics (M.Stat.) from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India and my undergraduate in Mathematics and Computer Science from Chennai Mathematical Institute, Chennai, India. My full CV is here.
📢 Open to Opportunities: I’m actively seeking internship opportunities and research collaborations involving statistical modeling, policy learning, or causal inference. I would love to get in touch!
