Kai Tan

Welcome to my website! I’m a 5th-year Ph.D. student in Department of Statistics at Rutgers University. I am very fortunate to have Pierre C. Bellec as my advisor. Prior to my Ph.D. journey, I earned two master’s degrees in Statistics from the University of Kentucky and East China Normal University, as well as a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Economics (with honors) from Central China Normal University.

My research interests span a wide range of areas in Statistics and Machine Learning, including high dimensional statistical inference, dimension reduction, and causal inference. Specifically, I develop tools for uncertainty quantification of iterative algorithms (e.g. estimating prediction risks and constructing confidence intervals for parameters of interest), to improve the reliability of statistical machine learning methods.

I am currently on the job market for the 2024-2025 cycle and would welcome the opportunity to discuss potential positions. Please feel free to reach out via email at kai.tan@rutgers.edu.
