Research Interests

My main statistical research interests are in the following areas:

• Statistical methodology applied to food authenticity studies.
• Bayesian risk modelling.
• Bayesian spatial-temporal modelling.
• Climate envelope models for ecological data sets.
• Constrained optimisation for ordinal response regression models.

Current and Recent Projects

• Creating a scientific definition for New Zealand Manuka Honey.
• Estimating collision risk for bats at wind farms.
• The effect of between-sample heterogeneity on standard statistical model selection methods.
• Probabilistic drought risk in forested landscapes.
