Nominator's project description

Professor Wu is an international leader in the study of large sample theory for time dependent data. He introduced the functional dependence measure concept, which enables a systematic theoretical framework for such an asymptotic theory. He designed fast online algorithms to compute statistics of time series. In Germany, he works on topics in high dimensional non-stationary time dependent data.
