Happy to share that I'll be joining the School of Maths @EdinUniMaths as a Chancellor's fellow (~tenure track assistant prof).
Will be continuing to apply probabilistic thinking to genomics. Very grateful for all support and encouragement I've received.
Come say hi if in town!
We are excited to share this opportunity to work alongside Dr Jacob Page. Find out more about the funded PhD project on 'Low-order modelling and control of turbulence using deep learning' via the following link:

“The standard error of a mean is famously known to be the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, a formula that is valid, except, of course, when it isn't, which is nearly always.” See “Sum Mistake”

Quantum computers could help us to answer questions that can’t be solved by ordinary computers.
But what exactly is quantum, and how does it work?
For #WorldQuantumDay we asked @IBM for a simple explanation of the science behind this exciting technology 💡
This week we are at the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium (BAMC), Newcastle!
Visit our joint exhibition stand with @ICMS_Edinburgh and @KEHub_Maths to find out about all the organisations we work with to support KE in the mathematical sciences community!
For those who know my book, Stochastic modelling for systems biology, third edition, but prefer #python to #rstats, there is now a full python/numpy port of the #smfsb R package on PyPI: https://t.co/NYlj2pNdO7
"Usually, the optimality criterion is minimization of cost ... In fact, the whole point is to provide the drug regulators with less information than they would be given by a design that is not flexible." https://t.co/l0uXElDFtn 3rd edition p385
In SIAM News, Ernest Davis reviews two recent #books about #FacialRecognition technology and associated implications for personal privacy and inequality: "Unmasking AI" by @jovialjoy and "Your Face Belongs to Us" by @kashhill. Read more: https://t.co/Gx26nBKpgV
