Dr Chris Drovandi is a Professor in the School of Mathematical Sciences at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Chris completed his PhD in 2012 at QUT and currently holds an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship on statistical inference for implicit models and an ARC  Discovery Project on novel Sequential Monte Carlo methods.  From 2016-2019 he held an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Fellowship.  He is currently an Associate Editor for Statistics & Computing and the SIAM/ASA Journal of Uncertainty Quantification. His research interests are in Bayesian algorithms for complex models, optimal Bayesian experimental design methods and the translation of Bayesian methods across many disciplines. Chris is currently supervising several post-graduate students. For more information, visit Dr Drovandi’s website.
