Research Interests
- Statistical modelling and computational algorithms for Data science, Engineering and Machine learning.
- Reinforcement Learning
- Monte Carlo computational methods: Markov Chain Monte Carlo, Sequential Monte Carlo, Scalable algorithms and Cloud based computation
- Information theory for Data Science.
- Some applications: Multi-object 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.
