Dr Charlotte Moragh Jones-Todd
BSc (Hons) mathematics, MSc statistics, PhD statistics
Biography
I completed my BSc (Hons) in mathematics at Aberystwyth University, Wales in 2012 before moving onto completing an MSc and PhD in statistics at the University of St Andrews, Scotland (2013 & 2017).
Before joining the statistics department in 2019 I worked at NIWA, Hamilton, NZ as a statistician.
Research | Current
My main research focus is the development of spatio-temporal models that account for the spatial and temporal dependence inherent in data.
