Ph.D. Candidate

Centre for Environmental Informatics

Welcome!

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics at the University of Wollongong in Australia. Supervised by Noel Cressie and Andrew Zammit Mangion, my thesis focuses on multivariate spatial and spatio-temporal statistical modeling with applications to large remote sensing datasets for environmental processes. Recent work features the estimation of natural carbon fluxes in a global Bayesian inversion framework.

My research interests are primarily in spatio-temporal statistics, including methods for large datasets, data fusion, multivariate processes, uncertainty quantification, and deep spatial models, especially as applied to the environmental and climate sciences. I am also interested in Bayesian inference and statistics of extremes.

Previously, I have also been involved as a data science consultant at Jupiter Intelligence, where I developed statistical extreme-value models for climate risk analysis. I hold B.S. and M.S. degrees in applied mathematics from the University of Colorado Boulder.
