Clifford Lam

Clifford Lam is a Professor in the Department of Statistics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He joined LSE in 2008 after earning his PhD in Operations Research & Financial Engineering from Princeton University. His research focuses on high-dimensional data analysis, time series modeling, and spatial econometrics. Key areas of expertise include statistical learning techniques, covariance matrix estimation, and factor modeling for high-dimensional time series.

His research interests span several domains: developing methodologies for high-dimensional data (e.g., semiparametric modeling and regularization), time series analysis (identifying latent factors in large datasets such as financial markets), and improving spatial econometric models by refining spatial weight matrix estimation for spatial panel data.

No scientific awards or honors are explicitly mentioned in the provided information. His work has contributed to grants and projects in statistical methodologies and econometrics, though specific grants are not detailed here. He advises students and researchers in his field, though names are not listed.

Lam is affiliated with the LSE Department of Statistics and maintains an office in COL.6.09. Office hours are bookable via the Student Hub.
