conference attendance and presentations

An overview of my conference attendance, detailing when I have given talks or poster presentations.

My talk at the RSS International Conference, 2023.

Royal statistical society international conference 2023

4th-7th September

I was invited to give a talk at the RSS International Conference 2023, thanks to my 'best talk' award at the RSC 2022. The prize winners all spoke in a series dedicated to the RSC. An amazing opportunity!

Sheffield spatial ecology workshop 2023

11th-14th July

I presented a talk at the Sheffield Spatial Ecology workshop 2023. This was a fantastic opportunity to react with ecologists, other statistical ecologists, and mathematical biologists working in more of a deterministic framework. It was a great to interact with experts in the field, and meet early careers researchers working on similar material to myself.

National centre for statistical ecology meeting 2023

26th-28th June

I was in attendance for the NCSE summer meeting in 2023. A very worthwhile experience, it was great to network with others in my field and witness the vast array of research on display. At this meeting, I was able to present an almost complete work. I received a first place prize for 'best student talk'.

British ecological society annual meeting 2022

18th-21th December

I attended the BES 2022 annual meeting in Edinburgh, at which I presented a poster. It was very worthwhile gaining the experience talking to ecologists from a non-statistical background, making the case for my research.

The research students conference 2022

5th September- 8th September 2022

I attended the RSC 2022 in Nottingham- a conference for, and organised entirely by, PhD candidates. I gave a talk somewhat akin to my talk at the ISEC 2022 (although perhaps more accessible). At this conference, I received a 'best talk' prize, which involved an invitation to the Royal Statistical Society conference in 2023!

International statistical ecology conference 2022

27th June-1st July 2022

I attended the ISEC 2022 conference in Cape Town, South Africa. At this conference, I gave a talk on my early research progress and my plans for developing my efficient method for inference. I made many genuine friends and core memories.

One of the proudest moments of my academic career occured at the ISEC 2022 conference- I came second in their meme competition! Jokes aside, my meme is topical for my research, which aims to peel ecologists away from discrete-time methods for inference such as the Hidden Markov model (HMM).
