NEWS: I co-organised the Cambridge Statistics Initiative Special One-Day Meeting that took place on Monday, 26 September 2011 at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge.

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Statistical Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, and I am also affiliated to Jesus College, Cambridge, as College Research Associate.

Current research interests:

data sketching, hashing and random projection methods; a particular application of interest is real-time monitoring of time series of seismic signals for the purpose of detecting phases of vulcanic activity (interdisciplinary project with the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford).
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) convergence assessment and regenerative simulation, with application to Bayesian hierarchical clustering with an unknown number of clusters.
classification and regression trees and random forests for predicting offender risk (interdisciplinary project with the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge).
sequential Monte Carlo algorithms, Bayesian methods, and variable selection in large p, small n scenarios.

Please visit my Research page for more details about my research interests.

In July 2009, I obtained a doctoral degree from the Department of Statistics, University of Oxford, under the supervision of Dr. Peter Clifford. I also hold a Bachelor degree in pure mathematics and a Master's degree in statistics from McGill University, Canada.

More about me (not on my cv!): this is the website of my partner, Christopher Ksoll. He is a Postdoctoral Research Officer in Economics at the University of Oxford, specialised in the study of African economies.
