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 a number of 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).
- In addition there are further Bristol university scholarships for
both UK/EU candidates
and overseas
(non-UK and non-EU) candidates.
- Occasionally we also have EPSRC project studentships which are open to nationals
of any country and are linked to a specific project.
Please email Dr. Campbell directly (C.Campbell(at)bris.ac.uk) for further information.
