Jairo Alberto Fúquene Patiño
I am very interested in Bayesian statistics from a theoretical and practical view point. Particularly, I like to do research in the following areas:
Bayesian Mixture Models
Bayesian Non-parametrics
Extreme Value Theory
Bayesian Dynamic Models
Bayesian Design of Clinical Trials
Bayesian Prior Choice
Small Area Estimation
Survey Sampling Designs
Bayesian Computational Schemes
Bayesian Demography
Bayesian Model Selection
Record Linkage
Education:
I did my PhD (September 2013 – July 2018) in Statistics in the University of Warwick (United Kingdom) under the supervision of Professors Mark Steel and David Rossell. I received the Harrison Award for a Highly Commended PhD Thesis. I have a master degree in mathematics from the University of Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico), a master degree in statistics and applied mathematics from the University of California, Santa Cruz (USA). I did my bachelor in the awesome country of Colombia in the National University of Colombia.
