Research

Research across inference, prediction, and trustworthy systems.

My work spans statistical inference under dependence, predictive modeling and uncertainty, financial time series, and the evaluation of computational systems under realistic operating constraints.

Statistical Inference & Time Series

Inference and forecasting under realistic dependence.

Time SeriesQMLERobust Inference

ARMA/QMLE Under Weak Dependence

Studies inference for ARMA models when innovations may be weakly dependent rather than IID, with emphasis on robust covariance estimation and finite-sample inferential performance.

ForecastingFinancial Time SeriesMachine Learning

Financial Forecasting Across Price and Return Tasks

Compares statistical and machine-learning methods using expanding-window, one-step-ahead forecasts, separating price prediction from the more difficult problem of forecasting noisy returns.

Financial ModelingStationaritySimulation

Gaussian Financial Modeling with Bond Factors

Examines the long-run behavior and uncertainty of a Gaussian financial model with bond factors, with current work focused on stationary distributions of key log-scale state variables.

Prediction, Machine Learning & Uncertainty

Reliability across forecast horizons.

Computational Social SciencePredictive ReliabilityUncertainty

Forecasting Relationship Dissolution Across Three- and Five-Year Horizons

Uses longitudinal relationship data to examine how predictive performance, explanation stability, and uncertainty behave across three- and five-year forecast horizons. The emphasis is predictive rather than causal: whether conclusions remain reliable as the forecasting horizon changes.

Trustworthy Digital Systems

Verification under uncertainty and adversarial pressure.

Protocol EvaluationGeofencing

Session-Bound Attendance Protocols

Develops and evaluates a server-authoritative attendance protocol using rotating session-bound QR credentials and uncertainty-aware geofencing, examining credential misuse and false-acceptance/false-rejection trade-offs.

Multimodal FusionFacial VerificationGeolocation

Multimodal In-Person Verification

Investigates how geolocation evidence and facial verification can be combined for in-person verification, comparing fusion strategies through false-acceptance and false-rejection behavior.
