  Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Bayesian Inference in Complex Systems


   School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

   Applications accepted all year round  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

About the Project

This project will focus on the development of Bayesian inference methods such as sequential Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for filtering and smoothing of states and parameters of complex nonlinear systems. The project will also design likelihood free methods for systems with many interactions between their components. Different applications will be considered with large scale systems.
