The Statistical Society of Australia and the University of Wollongong are pleased to announce that the UoW  2020 Statistical Science Lecture will be given on

Wednesday, 18 November 2020 at 3pm AEDT by

Professor Sally Cripps, University of Sydney:

“Zen and the Art of Bayesian Geology/Hydrology/Ecology”.

This event will be streamed online.

Sally Cripps is a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics and Director of the ARC Centre in Data Analytics for Resources and Environments (DARE Centre), at the University of Sydney. Sally’s research focus is the development of new and novel probabilistic models which are motivated by the need to solve an applied problem with the potential for impact. She has particular expertise in the use of mixture models for complex phenomena, modelling longitudinal data, nonparametric regression, the spectral analysis of time series, and the construction of transition kernels in MCMC schemes that efficiently explore posterior distributions of interest. Sally is also Chair of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis’ section, Bayesian Education and Research in Practice.
