# Sebastian Schmon,

DPhil (Oxon)

Welcome to my webpage. I am an Assistant Professor in Statistics at Durham University and a Research Scientist in the Complexity Research team at Improbable. My research interests lie at the intersection of statistics, machine learning and probability theory. In particular, I am interested in constructing and analysing practical algorithms and simulation techniques for complex statistical or machine learning models such as intractable Bayesian models or large scale simulation engines. A list of publications can be found below. I obtained my DPhil (Oxford parlance for PhD) at the Department of Statistics of the University of Oxford under the supervision of Arnaud Doucet and George Deligiannidis.

As a consultant with several years of experience I have supported start-ups as well as large multinational companies to improve their analytical capabilites.
