Bio
My name is Cynthia Rush and I am an Associate Professor of Statistics in the Department of Statistics at Columbia University. In May, 2016, I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from Yale University under the supervision of Andrew Barron and I completed my undergraduate coursework at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I obtained a B.S. in Mathematics.
My Research
My work is in the area of mathematical statistics and its interconnected domains, with a primary focus on the development and analysis of algorithms tailored for learning from high-dimensional data. In particular, my research uses tools and ideas from information theory, statistical physics, and applied probability as a framework for understanding modern, high-dimensional inference and estimation problems.
