I am Associate Professor in Statistics at the
Department
of Mathematical Sciences at
Durham
University in UK.
I have worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the
Department
of Mathematics of the
Purdue
University, and as a postdoctoral researcher in the
Uncertainty Quantification
group in the
Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory in USA.
I hold a PhD degree in Mathematics (Statistics) from the
School
of Mathematics at the
University
of Bristol, and a BSc degree in Statistics from the
Department of
Statistics at the
Athens
University of Economical and Business studies.
I am a Bayesian statistician with particular research interests in the
development of methods for statistical modelling to address problems
in uncertainty quantification and spatial statistics, statistical
computing to facilitate inference in complex statistical models, and
statistical machine learning.
A number of my recent research
projects/developments aim to address modern statistical challenges
such as `Big Data' and High-Dimensional problems one can meet in real
applications, while they can be implemented in parallel computing
environments.
