Research interests

  • Analysis of metapopulation models

    Metapopulations are typically modelled by Markov chains having complex structure and large state-space which makes their behaviour difficult to analyse. I have studied conditions under which these metapopulation models can be approximated by simpler deterministic, Gaussian and point process models. These approximations can be used to improve our understanding of the conditions needed for a metapopulation to persist or recover from a near extinction state.

  • Bayesian goodness of fit testing

    The aim is to improve the computational tools and theoretical results available for assessing model fit in a Bayesian setting.
