Brief Biography:

I gained a First Class Honours degree in Physics from Imperial College, London and a Doctorate in Applied Mathematics from the Department of Mathematics, King's College, London. I am currently a Reader in the Department of Engineering Mathematics, University of Bristol. My research interests are machine learning, including probabilistic graphical models and kernel-based methods, algorithm design and the applications of machine learning techniques in bioinformatics, cancer informatics and medical informatics. Our research is currently supported by EPSRC, Cancer Research UK and PASCAL2 . Our group is a component part of Intelligent Systems@Bristol.

PhD Opportunities:

PhD funding for projects in our areas of interest is available from several sources:

The EPSRC-supported Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences. This centre supports multi-disciplinary research with 10 PhD studentships currently available per annum. The research student has a supervisor in a mathematically or computationally oriented discipline, such as machine learning, and a co-supervisor in a life-sciences oriented discipline.
The MRC-supported Bristol Centre for Systems Biomedicine (BCSBmed) with 5 studentships available per annum. This initiative supports PhD projects in bioinformatics and cancer informatics in addition to other research topics.
Departmental Training Awards (DTAs).

Most studentship stipends are oriented toward citizens from the European Union member states though funding mechanisms exist for very well qualified applicants outside the EU.
