Biographical Details

Image of Professor Jim Griffin

Jim is Professor in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London. He joined the department in January 2019 and previously worked for 12 years at the University of Kent. He is currently an Associate Editor of the journals Statistics and Computing and Bayesian Analysis and has previously served as Associate Editor of Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B and STAT.

Research Interests

Jim is interested in a wide-range of areas in Bayesian statistics. He is particularly interested in the areas of Bayesian nonparametric modelling, high-dimensional regression modelling and time series modelling, and the computational methods needed to estimate these models. He has worked on applications of these methods in biology, ecology, economics, finance, medicine and sports science.
