Moulinath Banerjee

Associate Professor of Statistics and Biostatistics.


About me:

I am currently employed as Associate Professor in Statistics at the University of Michigan ( here is a CV). I graduated from the Department of Statistics at the University of Washington , Seattle, under the supervision of Professor Jon A. Wellner . Prior to graduate study at the University of Washington, I was a student at the Indian Statistical Institute , where I received my Bachelors (B.Stat.) and Masters (M.Stat.) in Statistics with specialization in Mathematical Statistics and Probability.

Apart from Statistics I take a general interest in the arts and humanities and especially in poetry, classical music, philosophy and drama. But more about that elsewhere.
