Reader in Statistical Data Science

Biography

I am a Reader in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York. Before that I was a Senior Lecturer in School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics at Newcastle University and a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Lancaster University. My research interests lie in the area of mathematical statistics and machine learning. In particular, my field of research are kernel methods. More recently, I started working on applications of Abstract Wiener Spaces and Malliavin Calculus to Statistics and Machine Learning. 

 

 

Career

My doctoral work comprised the development of a new Bayesian state-space modelling-based method, applied to the learning of the gravitational mass of the black hole in the centre of the Milky Way, and to the numerical modelling of non-linear dynamical phenomena in galaxies. Then following a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship, I moved into methodology development within computational and mathematical statistics, while diversifying into applications in multiple disciplines besides Astronomy. Since early days, my work has often been Bayesian, and my go-to inferential technique is MCMC.
