Scott Sisson

My research is in computational statistics. In particular, I enjoy working to try and solve "intractable" (computationally or analytically) statistical problems. This covers many areas, some of which are Bayesian statistics, big data, computational techniques and simulation-based algorithms, statistical extreme value theory (with environmental applications) and I cover a diverse range of scientific applications.

I am a past-President of the Statistical Society of Australia, and a Deputy Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers in Big Data, Big Models and New Insights (ACEMS).
