Michael T. Wojnowicz
Hi! I’m a research associate at Harvard University in the Department of Biostatistics, advised by Dr. Jeffrey Miller. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher with Tufts University Machine Learning, advised by Computer Science Professor Michael C. Hughes, as well as a Data Scientist at Tufts’ Data Intensive Studies Center.
I’m interested in statistical machine learning, particularly scalable Bayesian inference, time series modeling, and methodologies using measure-theoretic probability.
