Efficient Parameter Estimation for Stochastic Simulations
Stochastic simulation-based models are routinely used in many areas of science to describe inherent randomness in many real-world systems. Applications include the study of particle physics, imaging if black holes, biochemical processes, the migration of animals, and the spread of infectious diseases. To apply these models to interpret data requires statistical methods to estimate model parameters.Unfortunately, standard statistical techniques are not capable of analysing data using these models. This is largely due to the model likelihood, the probability of the …

Assessment of non-linear dimension reduction methods for calculating a SEIFA-like index
This project would involve applying one or more non-linear dimension reduction methods to Census 2021 data to calculate an index similar to the Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD) from the Socio-Economic Indexes For Areas (SEIFA). Some information and recommendations for the specific non-linear dimension reduction methods will be supplied as the output from an earlier project.

Life cycle assessments in the hospital space for waste reduction
Recovering, recycling, reuse and reducing waste in the health sector becomes more and more important as it will help hospitals to become more sustainable and to reduce their impact on greenhouse gas emissions. Life cycle assessments of materials, for examples plastic packaging, is an important tool to establish the best practice for recovery and recycling of these materials.
