I am a Professor in the
department of Statistics and a
tutorial
Fellow at
Keble
College, University of
Oxford.
Research
interests
My research interests lie in the development of probabilistic
models
for the analysis of complex and structured data, the study of the
theoretical properties of such models and the development of
scalable
inference algorithms. I am currently particularly interested in
sparse
networks.
