Assistant Professor
Professor Mukherjee is a member of the Probability and Statistics research group. For more information about Professor Mukherjee please see his personal website.
I was recently hired as an Assistant Professor with joint appointments in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and CDS at Boston University. I obtained my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Moulinath Banerjee and Prof. Ya’acov Ritov from the Dept. of Statistics, University of Michigan. Prior to joining BU in Fall 2023, I spent a year as a post-doctoral fellow at Princeton University under the tutelage of Prof. Jianqing Fan. My research interests span a variety of fields: I am keenly interested in the analysis of complex statistical models (e.g. deep neural networks), especially in high dimensions, where the geometry of the problem becomes extremely relevant. Although my previous research has dealt with independent data settings, I am now starting to explore models that capture data dependency (e.g., spatial or temporal dependence under some mixing conditions). I also actively work on algorithmic fairness, domain adaptation, and domain generalization, all of which fall within the purview of constrained classification/regression. One of my key goals is to delve into the connections among these fields of modern machine learning and develop methodologies for the optimal transfer of knowledge from one domain to another while preserving fairness.
