Personal profile
Research
I am a statistician with research interests in Bayesian longitudinal analysis, spatio-temporal models and the integration of physical and probabilistic models. My primary applications are environmental, meteorological and oceanographic processes and their influence on engineering decision making and resource management. Australian natural resource industries and environmental bodies are experiencing an unparalleled growth in the quantity of available data. Together with the increasing availability of computer based modelling and simulation, the so called Data Sciences and its mathematical underpinnings are firmly entrenched in scientific inference and industrial decision making. My research examines model/data missmatch and its impact on inference and decisions, using high quality, rather than high quantity, data to integrate our mathematical abstractions of the world with probabilistic approaches to uncertainty quantification.
Funding is available through joint government/industry grants for potential PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers -- see funding overview below. Those interested in the above approach to data science are encouraged to contact me about such opportunities.
Industrial relevance
The increasing need for (a) rigorous data science applications and (b) the development of statistical methodology to address more complex problems has resulted in my collaboration and/or consultation with many industrial and governmental bodies. Most recently, these have included INPEX, Shell Australia, Woodside Engergy, Bureau Veritas - France, Lloyd's Register Global Technology Centre, Fugro Australia Marine, Wood Group Kenny Australia, Geosciences Australia, Newcrest Mining, McKinsey & Company, IAG Insurance, ALCOA of Australia, BHP Billton, Roy Hill Holding, CORE Innovation Hub, NSW Natural Resources Commission, NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Western Australia Biodiversity Science Institute, Bureau of Meteorology, Water NSW, Alan Turing Institute (UK).
