- Brief Profile
- Research Publications
Dr. Sayantan Banerjee is working as an Associate Professor in the area of Operations Management & Quantitative Techniques at IIM, Indore. He is also the current Research & Publications Chair at the Institute.
He holds a Ph.D. in Statistics from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA. He specializes in Bayesian Statistics, and his Ph.D. thesis focused on Bayesian inference for high-dimensional models, dealing with both theoretical properties and computational issues for high-dimensional statistical models, with a special focus on high-dimensional graphical models. His Ph.D. thesis received the 2015 L.J. Savage Award (Honorable mention) for the best dissertation in Bayesian Statistical Science (Theory & Methods), presented by the International Society for Bayesian Analysis.
Prior to joining IIM Indore, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biostatistics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, USA. He worked on high-dimensional biological datasets and Bayesian inference for graphical models.
Dr. Banerjee holds an M.Stat degree from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata and a B.Sc. in Statistics (Hons.) from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata under the University of Calcutta.
Dr. Banerjee was supported by the INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship Award presented by DST, Govt of India, from 2016 to 2021 and he also held the sixth IIM Indore Young Faculty Research Chair position from 2019 to 2021. Apart from the award for best Ph.D. dissertation, he has won several research and travel awards including highly competitive awards like the Best Student Paper Award in Bayesian Statistical Science, presented by the American Statistical Association, and travel awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
His research interests include Bayesian inference, Graphical models, High-dimensional models, Multivariate analysis, Bayesian Asymptotics, Bayesian methods in Biostatistics, and Bayesian Machine Learning.
His teaching interests include Statistical methods, Statistical Inference, Bayesian Inference, Computational Statistics, and Machine Learning methods.
