Dixi.

My name is Visruth Srimath Kandali (विश्रुत श्रीमत् कन्दालै), and I am a master's student studying Statistics at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I'm broadly interested in Bayesian statistics, computational statistics, and statistical/machine learning. I'm also interested in functional programming & HPC.

I mostly do computational research. I am a member of the Stan⁠ development team and a R-Multiverse⁠ moderator. I've collaborated with professors at Cal Poly and Stanford. I'm keen to learn more, and appreciate recommendations for interesting books/papers/blogs/etc. For thoughts on some things I've read, see reviews.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing, photography⁠, and music.

This site hosts some of my blog posts, reviews, and writing.

See colophon for how the site is built.
