Research interests

Industrial applied probability: I have recently completed knowledge transfer projects with the National Grid in the area of network reliability and with IBM in the area of stochastic optimisation of energy storage. I supervise two PhD students working between the Schools of Mathematics and Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Manchester on uncertainty in future power systems, and I am currently providing stochastic spatial modelling for a British electricity distribution network operator.

Functional phylogenies: I am part of the Functional Phylogenies Group, studying statistical inference for function-valued data indexed by phylogenies. The method is described in this paper; the data used in the paper was generated by a public experiment. An application to the evolution of speech sounds is discussed here.

Current vacancies

Postdoctoral: Please get in touch if you would be interested in a postdoctoral position in the area of Real Options Analysis for Energy, split between the School of Mathematics at Manchester and Cambridge (Judge Business School).

PhD: I am constantly looking for good PhD students. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you are interested.

Teaching

All students are welcome at my office hour, Mondays 4.30-5.30pm during the semester, in my office 2.242. Please note that I am on study leave during semester 2 2011/12.
