Azadeh (Azalea) Khaleghi

I am a Lecturer of Statistics at the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Lancaster University. My research interests are in the mathematical foundations of Machine Learning and Statistical Learning Theory with a primary focus on devising provably effective, nonparametric algorithms for long-memory time series and multi-armed bandits, as well as on studying the possibilities and limitations of algorithmic fairness. While my contributions are mainly theoretical, I deeply care about the practical impact of my work and enjoy taking part in exciting industrial research collaborations.
