Ryan Tan

I study statistics at the University of Warwick, with a particular interest in computational statistics, covering Bayesian inference, state-space models and Monte Carlo methods. Currently, I am completing my dissertation on the topic 'High Performance Sequential Quasi Monte Carlo', supervised by Adrien Corenflos.

I love practical software and statistics. I enjoy building models for real-world problems, more relevantly in the financial markets.

I spend a fair amount of time outdoors. It's either hiking (check out my adventures on my Notion) or running. I am currently chasing a sub-3 hour marathon, with my closest being 3:12 in April 2026 at Stratford-upon-Avon.
