معرفی
Dr Yvo Pokern is an Associate Professor in Statistics at University College London since 2018. His research focuses on computational statistics and machine learning, with expertise in diffusion processes and Bayesian methodology.
He earned his PhD in mathematics under Andrew Stuart, a Masters at Paris XI with a dissertation at the Max-Planck-Institute in Leipzig, and was a postdoctoral researcher at Warwick University with Gareth Roberts and Wilfrid Kendall.
His primary research interests include statistical inference for diffusion processes (particularly hypoelliptic diffusions and diffusions on manifolds), Bayesian methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo, and statistical applications in spectroscopy (ENDOR). His work combines theoretical rigor with practical applications in diverse scientific domains.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent theme of developing and applying advanced statistical techniques to complex real-world problems, including traffic flow, fingerprint analysis, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Dr Pokern has supervised numerous PhD students, several of whom have gone on to academic careers. Notable former students include Mai Ngoc Bui (now lecturer at the British University Vietnam) and Tjun Yee Hoh (now lecturer at UCL School of Management).
