Profile

I joined Aston University in September 2006 where I completed my PhD in May 2011 on the stochastic emulation of computer models. Prior to that I was working in Microsoft Corporation as a software design engineer on the query processor components of the SQL Server database product.

A full list of publications and my CV >

PhD, Statistics and Information Engineering University of Aston, Birmingham, United Kingdom, expected time Spring 2010. Thesis Advisor: Dan Cornford Title: Emulation of Random Output Computer Models
BSc in Software Engineering, First Class, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne 1999, United Kingdom

1999-2006: Software Design Engineer in the Query Processor of SQL Server, Microsoft Corporation, Seattle, Washington, USA.

Transition Mathematics for Engineers (AM11EM). Teaching assistant. 2010.
Linear Algerba. Teaching Assistant.
Probabilistic Modelling (AM40PM), MSc in Mathematics of Complex Systems. 2011.

My research interests lie in the area of non-parameteric Bayesian modelling of random output computer models. In particular I am investigating the extension of the Gaussian Process formalism to model complex output distributions utilizing a sound experimental design strategy. I am part of the MUCM and ARCHA research groups.

I have been funded through the following projects:
