My name is Bao-Khanh Nguyen. I am a PhD student in Mathematics and Statistics supervised by Dr. Torben Sell and Dr. Cecilia Balocchi at the School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh (U.K.). My research focuses on Bayesian Machine Learning and Probabilistic AI, developing more scalable and computationally efficient statistical algorithms to analyse high-dimensional data.

I am currently working on Bayesian clustering for satellite images to improve limitations of existing clustering methods by allowing spatial correlation and distribution shifts and providing a general-purpose Bayesian clustering method for high-dimensional images. I also work on Bayesian Neural Network, where I study the posterior concentration rate and Bayesian asymptotic statistics.

Before that, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from Hanoi National University of Education (Vietnam) and my Master’s degree from Queen Mary University of London (U.K), both in Mathematics. I am also holding a position as a Statistics Lecturer at National Economics University (Vietnam) and supporting the curriculum design for the new Business Intelligence program.
