Dr. Nicolás Hernández, Lecturer in Statistics at our Centre, has been awarded a Scheme 3 grant by the London Mathematical Society. The grant will support the creation of a new Joint Research Group focused on "Statistical Modelling and Inference for Functional Data Analysis".

Functional Data Analysis is a rapidly growing area in statistics, yet the UK community currently lacks a dedicated, formal space for regular interaction. This new Joint Research Group aims to address this by bringing together theoretical and applied statisticians from across the country to build a stronger, more cohesive research network.

The project is a collaboration between Dr. Hernández and Dr. Haiyan Liu (University of Leeds) and Prof. Karthik Bharath (University of Nottingham). The group will organize three meetings in the upcoming academic year, hosted at QMUL, the University of Leeds, and the University of Nottingham.
