Jairo Fúquene-Patiño         

  

 

I am currently an  assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Davis. I am a Campos Scholar. 

​

Recently I was a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Statistical Science at Duke University where I worked with Rebecca Steorts.

​

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 Demography

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 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 country in the National University of Colombia (Colombia).
