Dr Samuel Touchard
This year, I will be teaching Games, Decisions and Behaviour (ST234) in term 1, Professional Practice of Data Analysis (ST344) with Dr Kirsty Hassal in term 1, and Applied Statistical Modelling (ST404), with Prof Jane Hutton in term 2. I am also module co-ordinator for the IM Dissertation/Project module.
Other modules that I have taught or been involved with in the past few years are Designed Experiments (ST305/410), An Introduction to Statistical Practice (ST952), Statistical Laboratory (ST121).
Before joining Warwick sevenyears ago, I worked as a Teaching Associate at the University of Bristol in the Department of Mathematics. I have also previously worked as a medical statistician, investigating potential biomarkers in dementia, especially in Alzheimer’s disease.
My research background is Bayesian Statistics. My PhD thesis “Bayesian Inference of gene-miRNA regulatory networks” consisted in building, via MCMC, a Bayesian graphical model with integrated biological information that infers a regulatory network of functional interactions between miRNAs and their mRNA targets.
