Saifuddin Syed
Assistant Professor · UBC Statistics
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of British Columbia, and an inaugural member of the AI Methods for Scientific Impact (AIM-SI) cluster within CAIDA.
My research focuses on the design and analysis of annealing algorithms for scalable Bayesian inference and generative modelling. I collaborate with scientists across astronomy, chemistry, and biotechnology, and am a member of the Algorithms and Inference Working Group for the Next Generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT).
Previously, I was a Florence Nightingale Bicentenary Fellow at Oxford's Department of Statistics, and completed a postdoc under Arnaud Doucet and a PhD under Alexandre Bouchard-Côté.
This website is currently under construction and will be updated soon.
I am actively recruiting MSc and PhD students with very strong mathematical and programming ability. Please email me with your CV and a brief description of why you want to work with me. Note that due to the volume of emails I receive, I am unable to respond to all enquiries.
