Associate Professor
Mathematics and Statistics
I'm a data modeller working at the interface of statistics, machine learning and AI. I have experience in devloping probabilistic data models to solve problems in a variety of areas, including environmental sciences, hydroinformatics, epidemiology and public health. My research broadly focuses around Bayesian hierarchical modelling. More specifically research interests include:
- Space-time modelling using Bayesian hierarchical splines
- Space-time modelling of point processes
- Stochastic weather generators
- Downscaling of weather and climate data
- Hidden Markov and semi-Markov models
