Dr. David Warne is a Lecturer in Statistical Data Science at the School of Mathematical Sciences , Queensland University of Technology (QUT). He is affiliated with the Centre for Data Science and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers . His research focuses on Bayesian inference, computational statistics, and their applications in ecology, environmental science, and computational biology. David holds a PhD in Mathematics (QUT), a BMath/BInfoTech (QUT), and a BInfoTech (Hons) (QUT). Research Interests: Bayesian methods, likelihood-free inference, parameter identifiability, stochastic modeling, and applications to ecological systems and environmental decision-making. His work bridges statistical theory with computational tools to address complex biological and environmental problems. Publications: David’s recent work emphasizes innovative statistical approaches for model calibration, uncertainty quantification, and decision analysis in ecological and biomedical contexts. Key themes include multifidelity Bayesian inference, model misspecification, and agent-based modeling of tumor growth. Awards: He received the Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award during his PhD at QUT. His research has been published in high-impact journals such as Journal of Computational Physics , Ecological Indicators , and Bulletin of Mathematical Biology . Supervision: Topics include stochastic process modeling, coral reef recovery, and scalable Bayesian inference. Labs/Teams: Active contributor to the Centre for Data Science and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers.
