Ragnar Leví Guðmundarson

I started my PhD at Heriot-Watt University in January 2021 at the Edinburgh campus. My supervisors are Dr. Dimitris Christopoulos and Prof. Gareth Peters. Generally, I am most interested in problems involving statistics and machine learning, with applications in risk management and insurance. My research explores how graph kernels can be used for two-sample hypothesis testing and also how they can be used for pattern recognition.

Background

Prior to joining Heriot-Watt I completed my master's degree in Actuarial Science at ISEG (University of Lisbon). I also hold a BSc in Applied Mathematics and Chemical Engineering from the University of Iceland.
