Hi, I'm Tony I'm a Senior Marketing Professional, Digital Marketing Strategist, SEO specialist and Brand Development Leader.

I am a lecturer in statistics and data science at the School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh. I completed my PhD with Prof Richard Samworth in the Statistical Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in 2015. I then worked with Prof Yingying Fan as a Postdoc at the University of Southern California.

Research interests

• Statistical learning: classification and clustering

• High-dimensional data: data perturbation techniques, random projections

• Incomplete data: semi-supervised problems, noisy data, transfer learning

• Applications in genomics
