Biography
Dr. Christiane Lemieux is a Professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Lemieux is interested in quasi-Monte Carlo methods and their applications. These methods can be thought of as deterministic versions of the well-known and highly used Monte Carlo method. They are designed to improve upon the performance of Monte Carlo by replacing random sampling by a more uniform sampling mechanism based on low-discrepancy point sets. A major goal of Professor Lemieux's research is to improve the applicability of quasi-Monte Carlo methods to a wide variety of practical problems.
