Janice Scealy

Janice Scealy is an Associate Professor in the Research School of Finance, Actuarial Studies & Statistics at The Australian National University (ANU). She holds a PhD in Statistics from ANU (2011) and a Bachelor of Mathematics (Honours) from the University of Wollongong (2003). Her research focuses on compositional data analysis, directional statistics, robust statistics, and applications in geosciences like palaeomagnetism and seismology. She has held roles including ARC DECRA Fellow (2018-2022) and has supervised multiple research projects. Notable contributions include advancements in hypersphere-based statistical models and robust estimation techniques.

• Education: PhD (ANU 2011), BMath (Wollongong 2003)

Her research interests include statistical methods for manifold-valued data, geostatistics, and model selection in linear mixed models. Recent work applies elliptical distributions to seismic moment tensor classification and integrates Fisher's palaeomagnetic theories with modern statistics. She leads projects on non-Euclidean data analysis and biologics immunogenicity assessment.

Key collaborations involve geophysical applications and statistical methodologies for spatial data. Awards include ANU research grants (2018–2025) and contributions to international statistical reviews.
