Dept. of Engineering, University of Cambridge,
Trumpington Street,
Cambridge.
CB2 1PZ, UK Other appointments: I am also an Affiliated Lecturer of the Statistical Laboratory and a Fellow of Churchill College. Associate Editor of Statistics and Computing Faculty Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute.
Research Interests
- Computational Statistics:
Monte Carlo methods (Particle Filters, Markov Chain Monte Carlo) for computation and its application to Bayesian inference, Maximum Likelihood.
- Applications:
Multi-target tracking, Sensor networks for condition monitoring, Gaming (e.g. Cheat Detection in online gaming, inferring player strategies), Signal processing for single molecule fluorescence microscopy.
Research Funding
- EPSRC: Bayesian Tracking and Reasoning over Time, 01/04/2013-31/03/2016, jointly with S.J. Godsill
- EPSRC: Bayesian Inference for multi-object tracking, 01/04/2009-28/02/2013. To study the mathematical and computational (e.g. SMC,MCMC) aspect of the problem.
- Rutherford Appleton Laboratory: Unraveling the supra-molecular rules in signal receptor networks, jointly with Dr. M. Hobson, 2009-Sept. 2013. One of the aims is to develop and implement state-of-the art Bayesian methods for the analysis of biological data sets originating from hybrid multidimensional single molecule methods and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy on Graphical Processing Units to exploit the parallel processing architecture.
