Michael Bertolacci

Michael Bertolacci is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics, University of Wollongong. He holds a PhD from the University of Western Australia (2016–2020). His research focuses on large-scale spatio-temporal problems in environmental statistics, including hierarchical Bayesian models for rainfall analysis, nonstationary time series methods, and flux inversion for trace gases. Current work emphasizes offshore engineering applications. He has secured funding from the University of Wollongong and NASA, collaborating on projects like WOMBAT v2.0, a Bayesian flux-inversion framework. His GitHub repositories reflect computational contributions to statistical methods and geospatial modeling.
