Kristen Hunter

Dr. Kristen Hunter is a Lecturer in Statistics and Data Science at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, UNSW Sydney. She holds a Ph.D. (2022) and B.A. (2012) in Statistics from Harvard University. Her office is located in Room 2074 of The Red Centre building at UNSW's Sydney campus.

Her research specializes in causal inference methodologies with applications spanning environmental policy, climate science, healthcare, and education. Current work focuses on developing statistical frameworks for environmental challenges, while past research includes Bayesian models for healthcare adherence and experimental design optimization. She actively seeks interdisciplinary collaborations to address climate-related issues.

Publication trends show strong emphasis on:

• Statistical methodologies for experimental design (multi-level testing, power analysis)
• Healthcare applications (medication adherence modeling using Bayesian techniques)
• Emerging environmental policy applications (compliance analysis in regeneration projects)
