Xiaowu Dai

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science and Department of Biostatistics at University of California, Los Angeles.

Previously, I was a postdoc at UC Berkeley from 2019-2022, advised by Prof. Michael I. Jordan, and also collaborated with Prof. Lexin Li (Biostats) and Prof. Robert M. Anderson (Econ). I was a member of the Berkeley AI Research Lab and Consortium of Data Analytics in Risk, and had the pleasure of visiting the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing. Before that, I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from UW-Madison, advised by Prof. Grace Wahba.

Recruiting: UCLA graduate students and visitors interested in machine learning, mechanism design, or biostatistics research, feel free to contact me.
