Shakeel Gavioli-Akilagun

Hello! Welcome to Shakeel's academic website. I am a Fellow in Statistics at the London School of Economics and Political Science; I am part of the Time Series and Statistical Learning research group. Previously I was a PhD student in the same department, where I was supervised by Professor Piotr Fryzlewicz. Some of my research interests include:
  • Multiscale statistical modeling
  • Change points and feature detection
  • Shape constrained estimation
  • Aspects of causal inference
A recent version of my CV can be found here.
