My research will focus on developing robust statistical procedures for modelling biological processes with particular interest in molecular evolution and marine ecology. This research is motivated by close collaboration with researchers at Dalhousie in both these areas where the important scientific questions are formulated. In both these settings, the standard statistical models are approximations to reality and the data itself can be quite noisy and subject to outliers. Both factors indicate a strong need for procedures which work well for neighbourhoods of the putative model and are not unduly influenced by outlying observations, namely robust procedures.

我的研究将集中于开发强有力的统计程序来模拟生物过程，特别是对分子进化和海洋生态学感兴趣。这项研究的动机是在这两个领域与Dalhousie的研究人员密切合作，这些领域都是重要的科学问题的形成。在这两种情况下，标准统计模型都是对现实的近似值，数据本身可能非常嘈杂，容易受到异常值的影响。这两个因素都表明，迫切需要适用于假定模式的社区并且不受离奇观测的过度影响的程序，即稳健的程序。
