Paromita Dubey

Welcome!

I am the Kenneth King Stonier Assistant Professor of Business Administration and an Assistant Professor of Data Sciences and Operations in the Department of Data Sciences and Operations (Statistics Group) at the USC Marshall Business School since June 2021. My research focuses on statistical modeling, inference and machine learning methods with non-Euclidean data, examples being distribution- and network-valued data and time varying random objects. My research has been supported by an NSF DMS Award, the Dr. Douglas Basil Award for Junior Faculty Award and the USC Zumberge Individual Research Award. Here are links to my CV, Google Scholar and Math Genealogy.

In Fall 2021, I was an invited Long-Term Participant at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, UC Berkeley for their Geometric Methods in Optimization and Sampling Program. From September 2020–June 2021, I was a Stein Fellow in the Department of Statistics at Stanford University. Prior to Stanford, I was a postdoc working with Prof. Hans-Georg Müller, who is also my PhD advisor, and Prof. Jane-Ling Wang in the Department of Statistics at University of California, Davis. I finished my PhD in June 2019. Before that I obtained a Bachelor of Statistics in 2012 and a Master of Statistics in 2014 from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.

I am interested in new research collaborations. You are welcome to connect if you are interested in working together. If you are an existing PhD student at USC and interested in my research, please feel free to email me regarding research opportunities. If you are interested in our PhD program, please visit the PhD program information page. Ph.D. candidates are admitted and funded by the school, not by individual faculty.

In my spare time I enjoy urban sketching and volunteering at the Westside German Shepherd Rescue of Los Angeles. I love hiking and being outdoors, and given any opportunity I like to find myself on a ridge or a peak or a pass or a lake.
