海角社区

I have recently submitted my PhD thesis within the 海角社区 Math and Stats CDT, jointly supervised by Professor Xavier Didelot and Professor Simon Spencer. My PhD research focused on Bayesian inference for spatio-temporal epidemic modelling. In particular, it involves Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, latent non-Gaussian hierarchical modelling, filtering methods for state space and hidden Markov models, outbreak detection, and likelihood-free methods for fitting infectious disease transmission models to data.

Prior to joining the CDT, I obtained a Master's degree in Medical Statistics from the University of London, School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) funded by the , and a Bachelor's degree in Statistics from the University of Abuja, Nigeria.
