Wenbin Zhou

Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. student (2023-) in Machine Learning and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Woody Zhu. Previously, I received my B.S. in Statistics at University of Science and Technology of China. My research interest lies in the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and operations research. I work on probabilistic machine learning, uncertainty quantification, sequential modeling, and causal inference, with a focus on their applications in the operations and management of power systems, disaster response, and other high-risk societal challenges.
