Hello! My name is Brandon Tam and I am a second year PhD student in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto. I am also a member of the University of Toronto Actuarial Science Research Group. My current research is related to multivariate uncertainty sets and distributionally robust optimization. Prior to starting my PhD, I completed an HBSc at the University of Toronto, specializing in actuarial science and minoring in mathematics.

In my free time, I enjoy playing badminton, playing piano and watching Cantonese dramas.
