Profile

Adway Wadekar

Undergraduate at Duke University

I'm a senior at Duke University studying mathematics and statistics. My research interests are broad and lie in statistical genetics, missing and synthetic data, differential privacy, network-based and graphical modeling and assumption-free/light inference. I also have a growing interest in (theoretical) population genetics and high-dimensional probability.

At Duke, I am very fortunate to work with Prof. Jerry Reiter, Prof. Jichun Xie and Prof. Ezra Miller. I also work with Prof. Chirag Patel at Harvard Medical School.

Outside of research, I have a strong interest in journalism and worked as a news reporter and editor for The Chronicle, Duke's student-run newspaper. I am an avid basketball fan and worked on the creative team for Duke Men’s Basketball.
