2023 | Professor of Data Science, Kitasato University, Japan | 2016 | Lecturer in Statistics, Loughborough University, England, UK | 2012 | Research Fellow, the University of St Andrews, Scotland, UK | 2008 | Statistician/Mathematical Modeller, Australian Government Geoscience Australia, Australia |
I am Professor of Data Science with the Department of Data Science, Kitasato University, Japan.
My general research interest is in the science of data, Data Science. Data and models—measurement and description of phenomena—they are the foundation of modern sciences. For the last several years my research activities lie on the intersection of statistics and subject matter sciences, with a particular focus on environmental/ecological sciences. My research concerns how statistical consideration contributes to advancing our knowledge and understanding of phenomena of interest.
I am an associate editor for:
the Japanese Journal of Biometrics and
the Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics (JABES).
Data Science: Data Analysis; Data Modelling (model building).
