Anthea Monod
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor with tenure) in Biomathematics at the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London.
I am an Elsie Widdowson Fellow at Imperial College and an Emmy Noether Fellow of the London Mathematical Society.
My research uses theory from pure mathematics (algebraic geometry and algebraic topology) to develop computational and statistical methods for data that have complex structures, or that live in complex spaces. I have applied my research to real data to solve problems in mathematical and computational biology.
Research Interests:
Applied and Computational Topology including Topological Data Analysis
Applied Algebraic Geometry including Algebraic Statistics
Geometric Statistics and Machine Learning
Mathematical Biology
