Profile

Ioanna Manolopoulou is a Professor of Statistical Science at the Department of Statistical Science, UCL as well as Associate Director of the HDRUK-Turing PhD programme. She is also affiliated to the recently-established UCL ELLIS unit.

Research Interests

Her main research interests lie in developing, extending or re-evaluating Bayesian models with a view to producing inferences which are useful and interpretable in practical applications. The focus is in flexible Bayesian modelling tools such as mixture models and tree models and applications of interest range from health data science to retail analytics.
