Somabha Mukherjee
Welcome to my homepage! I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science, National University of Singapore. Prior to joining this department, I completed PhD from the Department of Statistics, the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. My doctoral advisor was Bhaswar Bhattacharya.
​
I am interested in both Statistics and Probability. Within Statistics, my research interests include non-parametric statistics (testing and variable selection), inference in graphical models, high-dimensional CLT, shape-restricted regression and inference in Markov random fields. Within Probability, my research interests include discrete & combinatorial probability, large deviations, random graphs and statistical physics. My Ph.D. dissertation thesis centers around the problem of inference in higher order Markov random fields, particularly in tensor Ising models.
