Very excited to share my work with Anru Zhang on tensor data analysis! We study how to do uncertainty quantification for low-rank tensors under general noise mechanisms, and we apply it to several problems of interest. My favorite part is Remark 10! https://t.co/1TukpIPNoj

@ccanonne_ The thing about Rue Bias is that it only goes to one part of town, so it tends to be better if you're going that way

Honestly I have a tougher time motivating entrywise multiplication

[MathMatize Memes @MathMatize]

How do you motivate matrix multiplication?

Exciting news! @prof_grimmer, an assistant professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics has proven that taking periodic long steps is actually more effective in achieving convergence! This is huge!😲 #Research #AMSProfessor #viral #PeriodicLongSteps #GoHop

I am excited to say that I have accepted a tenure track position in statistics at @UofIllinois @IllinoisStat starting fall 2024! In the meantime I'll be spending the next year as a postdoc at @Penn @ESEatPenn working with Rene Vidal and Yuxin Chen!

[Joshua Agterberg @JAgterberger]

Now that it's September 1st, I'm excited to announce that I'll be on the statistics and data science academic job market this year! I am interested in the mathematical and statistical foundations of data science for complex data types. I'll add more in the coming weeks!
