Research

My research supervisors are Scott Sisson and Yanan Fan, and my research is focussed on Trans-Dimensional Sampling methodology “ Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques - MCMC / RJMCMC, Sequential Monte Carlo Methods, Particle Filters, Interacting Particle System approximations of Feynman-Kac flows. In the past I have been involved with development of Sequential Monte Carlo Samplers with applications to model order and parameter estimation and optimisation, Trans-Dimensional Sequential Monte Carlo methods, Asymptotic Bias for Sequential Monte Carlo Methods and analysis of mixtures using the SMC framework. I have been very interested in the theoretical and methodological aspects of SMC techniques. My current focus is two fold 1) on general frameworks for Trans-Dimensional sampling techniques with potential applications in a financial setting.
