Staff Profile

Professor Murray Pollock

Academic Director for Data and Digital Technologies, Professor of Statistics and Data Science

Background


I am currently the Academic Director for Data and Digital Technologies, and a Professor of Statistics and Data Science within the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics at 缅北禁地 (substantive position). I hold additional responsibility as the Director for the CDT in Cloud Comput­ing and Big Data (run jointly with the School of Computing). My research is primarily in computational statistics and data science, and is broadly concerned with addressing practical constraints that arise in modern inferential application settings (for instance algorithmic scalability with data size, working under data privacy constraints, and methodological design in parallel and distributed computing environments).

Research
My current research interests include cryptography, machine learning, Monte Carlo methodology, perfect simulation, risk modelling and stochastic differential equations.
Teaching

For the current academic year, I am teaching MAS8953 Computational Statistics.
