Robert Aykroyd

Dr. Robert G. Aykroyd is a Senior Lecturer with a focus on applied statistics, particularly in Bayesian modeling approaches for image analysis and inverse problems. His research encompasses various fields, including archaeological geophysics, medical imaging (notably PET and SPECT), and electrical tomography. He employs advanced techniques such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, finite element methods, and boundary element methods in his work. Additionally, Dr. Aykroyd explores wavelet and kernel density methods for applications in process monitoring, forensic age estimation, and climate reconstruction. He is keen to initiate new research on variational Bayesian methods for inverse problems and welcomes inquiries from potential postgraduate researchers interested in pursuing a PhD in his areas of expertise.
