Dr Dalia Chakrabarty
Reader in Statistical Data Science

Biography

My D.Phil is from Oxford (St. Cross College), and my M.S. (by research) is from the Indian Institute of Science. 

Career

My doctoral work comprised the development of a new Bayesian state-space modelling-based method, applied to the learning of the gravitational mass of the black hole in the centre of the Milky Way, and to the numerical modelling of non-linear dynamical phenomena in galaxies. Then following a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship, I moved into methodology development within computational and mathematical statistics, while diversifying into applications in multiple disciplines besides Astronomy. Since early days, my work has been Bayesian, and my go-to inferential technique is MCMC. I typically work on applications to real-world data, and enjoy working with academic and industrial collaborators.

Departmental roles

I am in the departmental Research Committee. I have had the chance to look after PGR matters when in Brunel Maths earlier, and directed a Masters programme, when in Leicester Maths.
