I am a final year PhD student in the Warwick Mathematics Institute. My interests include probability theory in general, its applications in statistical mechanics (physics), statistics, finance, and forecasting, as well as languages and programming—or several topics at once: Monte-Carlo simulations and their analysis, finding the “unluckiest” sequence of hard-mode Wordle guesses, or market designs to improve forecasting.

High-dimensional Statistics
Notes about where intuition for high-dimensional statistics fails.
Languages

Eldrow is a puzzle about how 'unlucky' one can get when playing Wordle on hard-mode.
Forecasting
-
Kelly Betting
A collection of interesting properties of and arguments for and against the Kelly criterion. -
Metaculus
Metaculus is an information aggregation website which allows users to compare their probabilistic forecasts to those of others. My track record can be found here. -
