Summary
Nick Heard is Chair in Statistics in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College. His research interests center around computational Bayesian infererence, clustering and changepoint analysis, with a focus on application to large dynamic networks, such as computer networks or social networks, and bioinformatics problems.
