Profile

Alex Shestopaloff is a Senior Lecturer in Statistics at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London and a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. He is interested in statistical computing, in particular, Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for performing Bayesian inference for complex stochastic models. Before joining QMUL he was a Research Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute and completed his PhD in Statistics at the University of Toronto in 2016.
