I have a total of 115 publications, the majority in Mathematical Genetics.
I regularly referee papers on Mathematical Population Genetics plus occasional papers on Stochastic Processes. The journals include:
I have referred grant applications for the EPSRC, Royal Society, BBSRC, NSF, NERC, and the Australian Research Council, and research theses (DPhil/PhD/MPhil/MSc) for Oxford, Macquarie, Melbourne, Monash, La Trobe and RMIT Universities.
Examples of positions held and administration carried out include:
At Monash University, I taught many courses in mathematical statistics, applied probability and mathematical methods from 1st year to Honours level.
At Oxford University, I have given lecture courses on:
In addition, I gave tutorials to students of Lady Margaret Hall on a variety of topics in statistics, probability theory and applied mathematics (144 tutorial hours per year).
