Professor of Statistics and Data Science, Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington I began my research career as an astronomer, and graduated with a PhD in Astronomy in 1991. After four years of postdoctoral research I moved into statistics - first in epidemiology, then working in official statistics and survey design, and in recent times working on a variety of applied statistics problems, I collected an MSc in Statistics and Operations Research along the way. I am a member of the Centre of Research Excellence "Te Punaha Matatini", funded by the Tertiary Education Commission.
