I am a Research Specialist at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, currently on leave from my Assistant Professorship in Statistics role at Universiti Brunei Darussalam. My interests lie in statistical theory, methods and computation, with a special inclination towards social science applications.
I obtained my PhD in Statistics from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in October 2018. My PhD project explored the use of Fisher information-dependent priors in a vector space framework for regression, classification, and variable selection. My supervisors were Prof. Wicher Bergsma and Prof. Irini Moustaki. I also obtained an MSc in Statistics from LSE in 2014.
I graduated from Warwick University, completing the 4-year MMORSE degree in 2010. As my final year project, I used Bradley-Terry models applied to English Premier League football data. This project was supervised by Prof. David Firth.
Previously, I was a Research Officer at the Centre of Science & Technology, Research & Development (CSTRAD), Ministry of Defence, Brunei. My primary task was to provide data analysis and decision support to strategic acquisition projects, and assist in statistical analyses for defence-related research.
