I am Director of the Jean Golding Institute for Data Science and Data Intensive Research, and Associate Professor of Data Science in the School of Mathematics. Up to date information can be found at https://people.maths.bris.ac.uk/~madjl/.

My research is on applied statistics, particularly pullthrough of interesting methods into consequential applications - recent work has focussed on spectral methods, Graph Neural Networks, conformal inference and Bayesian methodology. Applications span earthquakes, culture, and particularly statistical genetics approaches to population structure and what this can tell us about the function of the genome, and even best practice for breeding.
