Jelena Bradic is an Associate Professor at the UC San Diego, where she holds a joint appointment in the Department of Mathematics and Halicioglu Data Science Institute.
Prof. Bradic holds a Ph.D. degree in Statistics from Princeton University (2011) associated with the Operations Research and Financial Engineering Department . She has had the pleasure to study under the guidance of Prof Jianqing Fan. Her undergraduate and masters degree are in Mathematics from Belgrade University, Serbia (2004, 2007).
Prof. Bradic's interests are in causal inference, machine learning, robust statistics as well as missing data problems. Her application areas include observational and interventional data, treatment effects, as well as public health and policy learning. She strives to understand and develop new robust learning methods and algorithms with provable guarantees of stability, robustness to data corruption and data generating mechanism.
