Lewis Rendell
I am a fourth-year PhD student in Statistics, working under the supervision of Dr Adam Johansen and Dr Anthony Lee. My research interests lie in Monte Carlo methodology; I am currently working problems relating to tuning Sequential Monte Carlo samplers, and on Monte Carlo algorithms in distributed settings.
