Research Interests

Prof. Ghosh's research primarily focuses on Bayesian Inference, where he has made significant contributions to Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods and their applications. His work in Biostatistical Applications includes developing Bayesian networks for biomedical phenomena, protein structure prediction, and medical decision-making. In Environmental Statistics, he applies hierarchical Bayesian modeling to characterize spatial-temporal variability in climatological, ecological, and environmental data. His methodology development spans survival analysis, spatial statistics, time series, and nonparametric methods using Bernstein polynomials.

Analysis of Prof. Ghosh's recent publications reveals a strong focus on Bayesian methods applied to diverse fields including neuroimaging, astronomy, digital health, and environmental science. His work demonstrates consistent innovation in developing computationally efficient methods for complex data structures, with particular emphasis on shape-constrained estimation, functional data analysis, and high-dimensional problems. Many publications show interdisciplinary collaborations with domain experts.
