Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiguel Biron-lattes is a Postdoctoral Fellow and PhD statistician with a decade of experience applying Bayesian computational methods to real-world inverse problems and financial stability analysis. He combines deep academic research—publishing in top venues and developing GPU-accelerated, JAX-based gradient MCMC samplers—with practical consulting work mentoring graduate students and delivering statistical solutions across biostatistics, materials science, and medicine. His background in industrial engineering and roles in Chilean financial supervision and quantitative consulting give him rare fluency in large-scale data processing (SQL/R) and credit/market risk modelling. Currently he’s building a fully Bayesian surface-based muography inference pipeline that bridges geophysics and high-performance probabilistic computation. Colleagues value him for translating complex theory into reproducible, production-ready code and for mentoring the next generation of applied statisticians.
