Executive Team
Dr Michael Murray is a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and is interested in the theoretical foundations and technological development of modern machine learning systems.
Dr Eric Hester is a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and his research develops accurate models and efficient simulations for multiphase systems in continuum mechanics, with applications from optimising manufacture times in small-scale industrial microfluidics, to assessing planetary-scale influence of ice-ocean interactions in global climate modelling.
Centre and Institute Administrator
Lucie provides support for all SAMBa activities including recruitment, induction, training, events, marketing and communication.
Executive team
Dr Christian Rohrbeck is a Senior Lecturer and his research focuses on advancing and combining methodology from several statistical areas, such as Bayesian clustering, extreme value theory, nonparametric regression and spatial statistics.
Professor Matthias Ehrhardt is a Reader in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and is interested in the mathematics of data science, particularly the interface of optimization, inverse problems and machine learning.
Professor Tim Rogers is interested in understanding and predicting the behaviour of complicated random events and processes, in particular when there are network or spatial structures involved.
Co-Director
Professor Alex Cox is Co-Director of SAMBa and Deputy Head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Alex is interested in research questions arising in probability and their applications in mathematical finance.
Dr Marcel Ortgiese is a Reader in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Marcel’s research interests are in probability theory, in particular in stochastic systems that involve a spatial or network component.
Centre Coordinator
Lou Adkin delivers the administrative support for SAMBa, oversees the admissions process, and supports programme delivery.
Dr Susie Douglas oversees the strategic direction and operation of the SAMBa CDT. Susie works across University CDTs to add value to the research and training portfolio.
