Dr Kelly Trinh ~ Associate Lecturer, Statistics and Data Science

Kelly’s research focuses on Bayesian statistics, machine learning, dimension reduction techniques in Big Data, and time-varying parameter models. Kelly has a strong interest in developing new model specifications, and applying statistics models and machine learning algorithms in applied research areas such as bioinformatics, health and economics. Prior joining in JCU, Kelly worked as a Data Scientist at Data61, CSIRO and received a PhD degree at the University of Queensland in 2018.
