Nikki Sonenberg

I am a Heilbronn Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, and visiting researcher at The Alan Turing Institute.

My research interests are in stochastic systems and applied probability, increasingly using data driven approaches.

Previously I held postdoctoral positions at The Alan Turing Institute and the University of Antwerp. My Ph.D. thesis,  "Networks of Interacting Stochastic Fluid Models" is from The University of Melbourne, Australia.
