My name is Henry (he/him), and I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Statistics at Stanford University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professors Scott Linderman and Brian Trippe. My graduate studies are graciously supported by the Knight-Hennessy fellowship and the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP).
I am broadly interested in applied probability and probabilistic machine learning (probabilistic ML), with applications to neuroscience and computational protein design. I am especially excited about continuous-time latent variable models, such as diffusion models.
Find my CV here. You can contact me at [last-name]hd@stanford.edu.
