Overview
I am a Reader in Statistics at the School of Mathematics since August 2021. I joined the School in September 2013 as a Lecturer and I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in August 2019. Before that I was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics at Michigan Technological University (2010-2013) and a New Researcher Fellow at the Statistics and Applied Mathematics Sciences Institute (SAMSI - North Carolina, US). My research has been funded by National Science Foundation, the London Mathematical Society, the GW4 Network and the Wellcome Trust.
My research interest includes high-dimensional statistics, supervised and unsupervised dimension reduction, computational statistics, machine learning and text data analysis. I am happy to discuss with prospective Ph.D. students any research projects they are interested with if they want to work with me.
I currently have the following roles within the School/University:
- Director of Postgraduate Taught Studies
- Deputy Academic Director for Data Science Academy (DSA)
- Theme Lead on "Skills and Education" in the CU/ONS Strategic Partnership
Biography
Education:
- PhD – Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, USA, 08/2010.
- M.Sc. – Statistics, Pennsylvania State University, USA, 05/2008.
- BSc – Mathematics and Statistics (minor Computer Science), University of Cyprus, Cyprus, 06/2005.
After graduating from my Ph.D. at Penn State University I moved to Michigan Technological University (MTU) where I spent 3 years as an Assistant Professor. In 2012/2013 I was on research leave in the Statistics and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute in North Carolina as a New Researcher Fellow. Then in September 2013 I moved to Cardiff University as a Lecturer.
