Research interests
My work broadly concerns the use of geometry in statistics, applied probability, and machine learning. My present focus is on the use of stochastic processes on manifolds and other non-Euclidean spaces for modelling and computation, and shape spaces in particular. I retain a long-standing interest in quantum information.
