    I'm a #graduate student at #CurtinUniversity. My thesis is on developing analytical techniques, perhaps #Bayesian, for identifying and classifying variable and transient astronomical sources, namely #BlackHoles and #NeutronStars, in large galactic surveys.

    I'd say I'm more #statistician than #astronomer, with a dash of #ComputerScience too.

    I'm a huge #rstats fan but now leaning into #python for my current research. I'm also something of a conference committee addict.
