Rachel Carrington

Rachel Carrington is a Research Associate in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on advanced statistical techniques for integrating and analyzing complex datasets, particularly in urban environments.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of applied statistics and urban analytics. She specializes in multivariate data analysis methods such as AJIVE, enabling the fusion of heterogeneous data sources like survey data and satellite imagery. These techniques are applied to real-world challenges, including urban mapping in rapidly growing cities such as Dar es Salaam, where accurate spatial and demographic insights are critical for infrastructure planning and public service delivery.

The publication in her portfolio demonstrates a strong trend toward interdisciplinary research combining statistical methodology with geospatial and socio-economic data. Her work emphasizes data integration, dimensionality reduction, and modeling of complex response variables in urban settings, contributing to both methodological innovation and practical policy applications.

• Active contributor to statistical methodology with applications in urban development
• Collaborates on interdisciplinary projects involving remote sensing and household surveys

She is actively engaged in research collaborations with prominent statisticians, including Ian Dryden, Martin Ellis, Jonathan Goulding, Sarah Preston, and David Sirl. While current information does not indicate any formal student supervision or grant leadership, her contributions to peer-reviewed applied statistics suggest ongoing involvement in funded research initiatives.

Rachel Carrington contributes to the research ecosystem within the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, working within a network focused on statistical innovation and real-world data challenges, particularly in global urban contexts.
