Research Interests

My principal research interests lie in Bayesian inference, particularly MCMC methods and model selection, and the application and development of methods to environmental statistics. I am particularly interested in applications in linguistic change over time and applications in fault detection and visualisation of high frequency remote sensor data on environmental variables.


Software

The code to fit some of the models in my research can be found here. This is currently under development so please contact me if you require further information.
