Work led by Shu, with @adamjohansen.bsky.social and @bayesianstats.bsky.social

Starting now!

The final OWABI seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi of the season will feature two selected talks and will take place live from BayesComp bayescomp2025.sg/! The talks will take place on Thursday the 19th June at 1pm UK time (note the different date and time!), and will be given by

Recently-completed Warwick PhD student Ian Roberts, with Xavier Didelot, Richard Everitt and Jere Koskela, have had the paper "Bayesian Inference of Pathogen Phylogeography using the Structured Coalescent Model" accepted in PLOS Computational Biology

So excited for the County Championship tomorrow.

I will be a supervisor for an upcoming PhD! (with Kirsty Hassall and Jacqueline Stroud) The opportunity is an EPSRC DLA Interdisciplinary Scholarship: "Unravelling the sound underground: Detecting and estimating earthworm abundance using low-frequency vibrations".

The next OWABI seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi is quickly approaching, being scheduled on Thursday the 27th March at 11am UK time. Our next speaker is Meïli Baragatti (Université de Montpellier), who will talk about "Approximate Bayesian Computation with Deep Learning and Conformal Prediction".

PhD position at Surrey: Reconstructing EVolutionary histories for organisms on EArth and stars in gaLaxies (REVEAL).

I will be one of the supervisors on this. Please pass on to any UK students who may be interested.

The programme will be complemented by discussion and exercise sessions so to maximise interaction among participants and speakers. Participants have the chance to present their work in short-talk sessions.
To join the school, please register at

(deadline 18 May 2025)

It will feature 4 lecture courses, by:
Martin Hairer, EPFL (Switzerland) and Imperial (UK)
Nina Holden, NYU Courant (US)
Hubert Lacoin, IMPA (Brazil)
Richard Nickl, Cambridge (UK)
who will explore: stochastic PDEs, random planar maps, directed polymers and Bayesian inference for time evolution PDEs

The P@W Summer School - Recent Trends in Probability and Statistics will take place at the University of Warwick, 7-11 July 2025. The school will engage PhD students and researchers with cutting-edge topics at the frontiers of current knowledge in Probability and Statistics.

Call for Help: As AE for JSS, I am looking for reviewers for a neat paper (and #Rstats package) with low/mid/high precision float support, something of interest for (very) large models and machine learning. If you,dear reader, could review this please get in touch via email. Thanks in advance.

It's the end of term! We wish all of our students (and staff!) a relaxing break. We look forward to welcoming you back in January.
