Sancharee Basak

Assistant Professor

1. Ph.D. in Statistics (2022) from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.
2. M.Sc. in Statistics (2015) from University of Calcutta.
3. B.Sc. (Hons.) in Statistics (2013) from Lady Brabourne College, Kolkata.

I completed my graduation in Statistics from Lady Brabourne College and my postgraduation in Statistics from University of Calcutta. I submitted a thesis during my postgraduation degree bearing the title "Partial sequential two sample test procedure for simultaneous inference on both location and scale parameters'". My doctoral work at Indian Statistical Institute (Kolkata) was on the topic of Robust Statistics and under the supervision of Dr. Ayanendranath Basu of Interdisciplinary Statistical Research Unit.
Just before attaining my doctoral degree, I started my teaching stint as an Assistant Professor of Statistics and have completed about 4.5 years in total at St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata and Sister Nivedita University, after which I joined Presidency University.

Till date, I have carried out most of my academic research in the domains of Likelihood-based Inference, Minimum Distance Inference, Density-based Divergences and their uses in Robust Inference and Bayesian Inference. Accordingly, I have published research papers in reputed international journals related to Statistics.

1. Assistant Professor, Presidency University, Kolkata (April 2026 to Present).
2. Assistant Professor, St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata (July 2022 to March 2026).
3. Assistant Professor (Grade I), Sister Nivedita University, Kolkata (November 2021 to June 2022).
