My name is Hrushikesh Loya, and I am a PhD scholar in the Department of Statistics at University of Oxford. I am pursuing my Doctoral research with Prof. Simon Myers and Prof. Pier Palamara in the domain of statistical and population genetics. I am working on improving genealogy inference and applying these genealogies for problems ranging from demographic inference to phenotype prediction. I have also worked on survival analysis and probabilitic machine learning and have keen interests in Deep learning, Bayesian Inference and AI Safety.

I maintain a list of my publications and research implementations under the Publications tab. To get an insight into my professional life so far, you can have a look at my CV.
