Harita Dellaporta
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London, where I work with Prof. François-Xavier Briol and I am a member of the Fundamentals of Statistical Machine Learning group. Prior to this, I was a PhD student at the CDT in Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Warwick under the supervision of Prof. Theo Damoulas. My research broadly focuses on developing robust methodologies that cope with challenges stemming from different types of model misspecification. Some areas I am particularly interested in are robust generalisations of Bayesian inference and distributionally robust optimisation.
My official name is spelled ‘Charita,’ but it is pronounced ‘Harita,’ so I go by the latter.
