About

My research focuses on Bayesian statistics, machine learning, dimension reduction techniques, and time-varying parameter models. I have a strong interest in developing methodology statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms in applied research areas such as bioinformatics, health and economics. 

Prior joining in JCU, I worked as a Data Scientist at Data61, CSIRO and received a PhD degree at the University of Queensland in 2018.

Current Interests

  • Time series prediction
  • Modelling uncertainty in econometric models and neural networks
  • Bayesian inference for high dimensional data
  • Developing efficient computation algorithms

ED waiting time predictions in real-time: development of data acquisition system and performance evaluation of advanced statistical models.

Indicative Funding
$36,733 over 1 year (administered by Metro South Hospital and Health Service)
Summary
Emergency department (ED) waiting times are a significant predictor of the patient experience. This project aims to use advanced statistical models and machine-learning algorithms to capture dynamic fluctuations in waiting time, to implement and validate the prediction performance of these models. A solution that is capable of sourcing data from ED information systems and feed it into prediction models to generate waiting time forecasts would bring practical benefits for staff and patients. There is also potential to assist clinicians and nurses to estimate demand for care and calibrate workflow.
Investigators
Andrew Staib, Anton Pak and Kelly Trinh in collaboration with Rob Eley and Brenda Gannon (Metro South Hospital and Health Service, Australian Institute of Tropical Health & Medicine, College of Science & Engineering and The University of Queensland)
