Roles & Affiliations: Dr. Mengchu Li is an Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. Previously, he served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick (Feb 2023–Sept 2024), and completed his PhD in Statistics at Warwick under Prof. Yi Yu. Education: PhD in Statistics, University of Warwick (2023) MASt in Mathematical Statistics, University of Cambridge (2019) BSc in Mathematics and Economics, Durham University (2018) Research Interests: Focuses on statistical theory and methodology for heterogeneous data analysis, particularly in high-dimensional settings and under privacy constraints. Key areas include change point analysis, robust statistics, differential privacy, and transfer learning. His work emphasizes minimax optimality and explores fundamental trade-offs between data contamination, privacy, and statistical performance. Research Trends in Articles: Recent work spans federated learning with privacy guarantees, robust change point testing in high-dimensional settings, and privacy-preserving network analysis. His papers often bridge statistical theory with applications in machine learning and distributed systems. Awards & Honors: Harrison Award (2023) for highly commended PhD thesis NeurIPS 2022 Scholar Award Teaching & Service: Taught graduate courses on statistical inference and computation at Birmingham. Previously led tutorials in mathematical statistics and linear modeling at Warwick. Active reviewer for Annals of Statistics , Biometrika , NeurIPS , and other top venues. Contributed to the R package changepoints for change-point detection methods. Labs & Collaborations: Engaged in interdisciplinary research through workshops on heterogeneous data (2024) and change point analysis (2023). Collaborates with institutions like the Alan Turing Institute and Warwick’s Statistics department.
