Professor François Caron

Professor of Statistics

Biography

I am a Professor of Statistics at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow of Keble College.

Research Interests

  • Statistical machine learning
  • Computational statistics
  • Bayesian statistics
  • Bayesian nonparametrics
  • Network analysis

I am interested in the development of statistical models and computational procedures for the analysis of structured data. I have a particular interest in Bayesian nonparametrics and Monte Carlo methods.
