Research Fellow in sequential Monte Carlo methods at Queensland University of Technology.

My main areas of interest are:

• Bayesian computation
• hierarchical models
• regularisation
• constrained models

Current projects

• Monte Carlo twisted particle filters arXiv
• Calibrating surrogates models for intractable Bayesian posteriors
• Particle filters for binary state spaces
• BART for causal treatment effect models in social science (and R package) with S Kalucza and M O’Flaherty
