Johnny MyungWon Lee
I am a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh affiliated with the School of Mathematic and Maxwell Institue for Mathematical Sciences. My supervisors are Dr. Daniel Paulin and Dr. Miguel de Carvalho. I am part of the Statistics group associated with Data and Decisions. I am currently funded by the School of Mathematics PhD Studentships.
My primary research interests lie in the field of Bayesian statistics, machine learning, statistical computation and meta learning, and they share the same goal of utilising the information and discovering insights through data. Currently, I am exploring Bayesian statistics framework that induces sparsity such as Baysian Lasso and shrinkage priors. I am also increasingly passionate about the intersection of our daily lives and statistics. This includes applications that draw inspiration from extreme events, finance, natural language processing that use machine learning to accelerate scientific discovery.
