Dr Adam Johansen
Teaching
Some generic teaching information -- applicable to my personal tutees and well as those attending my lectures is available from my teaching page. This year I will be lecturing parts of ST104 Statistical Laboratory and ST407 Monte Carlo Methods.
Together with Ludger Evers, I lectured the graduate-level Monte Carlo Methods course at the University of Bristol in 2007. The lecture notes may still be of some use.
Research
Recent Advances in Sequential Monte Carlo, 2012
A conference showcasing recent developments in SMC will be took place between 19th and 21st September, 2012 here at the University of Warwick: SMC-2012.
Students and Collaborators
Current interests include Monte Carlo methodology, particularly sequential methods together with Bayesian statistics and decision theory more generally.
Current Ph.D. Students:
- Axel Finke (co-supervisor Dario Spanò)
- Thomas Honnor (co-supervisor Julia Brettschneider)
- Murray Pollock (co-supervisor Gareth Roberts).
- Matthew Thorpe (co-supervisor Florian Theil)
- Yan Zhou (co-supervisor John Aston).
I've also been having some interesting discussions with other people in the department, including
- Christopher Nam (supervisor: John Aston).
- Javier Rubio (supervisor: Mark Steel).
Prospective Ph.D. students should feel free to email me to discuss possible research directions.
