Senior Lecturer in statistics at UWA (@uwanews). Everything is latently Gaussian: change my mind.
Perth, WA, Australia
Joined March 2011
I'm very excited to continue our work analysing the data from NASA's OCO satellites, co-lead by @NoelCressie, @andrewzm, and @bea_buks, along with students @joshhjacobson, Alan Pearse, and Daemon Kennett. A dream team!
Dr @mikebertolacci and his team have received three years' funding from @NASA as members of the #NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory Science Team. 👏🪐 #UOWResearch

Out today: short paper from me + colleagues on policy challenges at the AI research frontier. The paper (based on an event we co-ran with @GoogleDeepMind) explores foreseeable extensions of existing AI technologies, the risks they might pose, and what policymakers can do. 🧵:
📝 New workshop report! 📝 If you’ve heard the term “frontier AI” over the last few months, this one’s for you. The paper shares key themes and recommendations from a roundtable that CSET cohosted with @GoogleDeepMind.

Nice to see this come out—it was wonderful to play a small part in this work. Well done @BKAByrne for leading this!
Assessing a country's carbon stock from atmospheric measurements is challenging. So proud of our team contributing to this international study done in support of the UNFCCC global stocktake https://t.co/HHX1BLOxjz

Stoked to see this come out - a little piece about our work on the carbon cycle in the latest issue of @signmagazine.
Congratulations to @uowcei members @NoelCressie @andrewzm @joshhjacobson and @mikebertolacci on their feature article in the newest issue of @signmagazine 🌎CO2 data from @NASAEartht's #OCO2 satellite is seen through the eyes of #WOMBAT

I'll talk about some of our (@NoelCressie, @andrewzm, @bea_buks, @AtmosJennyF, among others) latest work on using observations of atmospheric CO2 to look for changes in the carbon cycle using techniques from both Bayesian statistics and atmospheric chemistry. 2/

Ever wonder how climate scientists monitor when and where #CO2 enters and exits the atmosphere? Our new post for @uowcei provides an overview of the process and the fancy Bayesian framework #WOMBAT for CO2 flux estimation 👇 @NoelCressie @mikebertolacci

Go @AtmosJennyF!!! Oh, well done!
Associate Professor Jenny Fisher (@AtmosJennyF) has been awarded the 2022 Anton Hales Medal, which recognises research in the Earth sciences. She is exploring air pollution by researching the atmospheric chemistry of trace gases. @UOW #Honorifics22

"Everyone who confuses correlation with causation eventually ends up dead." Favorite new way to teach this, hands down.

Maybe instead of just epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty, we need a third option which is how certain you are that there aren't bugs in your analysis code.
