Statistical Modelling of Extreme Weather Events in a Changing Climate
Extremes in weather, such as tropical storms, wildfires, heatwaves, or large-scale floods can have massive societal and economic impacts from loss of property to loss of life. In this project, we seek answers to return times and magnitudes of extreme weather events in a region. We use a combination of extreme value theory, numerical global circulation models, classification algorithms, and real-world data to mathematically map out weather regions and form regional models of weather extremes. We also consider changes in the probabilities of these events under standard climate cycles and increased CO2 emission thresholds.

Rare Event Analysis and Machine Learning Applications to SARS-CoV-2
This project has many available branches for exploration, utilising both unsupervised and supervised machine learning methods. We combine virology experimental data with cutting-edge statistical methods to answer questions ranging from early detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection to mutation paths and likelihoods.
