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.
