Lecturer in Statistics, University of Auckland, Waipapa Taumata Rau

I did a B.Sc. (Hons) majoring in Physics at the University of Sydney. During my PhD at the same institution (under the supervision of Geraint Lewis), I developed an interest in Bayesian statistics, particularly applied to astronomical problems.

Since 2009 I have been a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara, working with Professor Tommaso Treu.

In mid 2012 I started as a lecturer in statistics at The University of Auckland, New Zealand.
