SE: Please reinstate and apologise to Monica Cellio

Research Fellow - Australian National University (ANU)

Honourary Lecturer - University of New South Wales (UNSW)

Data Scientist and Statistical Consultant

I enjoy theoretical and applied statistics, data science, machine learning and game theory. My PhD was in Bayesian statistics but I have done a lot of teaching in classical methods. I enjoy programming and analysis in R, and love making models and pretty graphs. I also have broader expertise in economics, philosophy and law.
