about


Dr Christopher Drovandi is a Professor in Statistics and Data Science at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia.  He is currently a Program Director of the QUT Centre for Data Science.  From 2015-2021 he was an Associate Investigator of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers, and an Associate Editor of Statistics and Computing.  From 2016-2019 he was the Chair of the Bayesian Statistics Section of the Statistical Society of Australia. 
Dr Drovandi is currently an Australian Research Council Future Fellow, conducting cutting-edge research on scalable and robust Bayesian methods for implicit statistical models.  In 2020, he was the recipient of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant on novel sequential Monte Carlo methods. From 2016-2019, he was an ​Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellow. His DECRA Fellowship was highly productive, generating 30 publications predominantly on new methods for likelihood-free Bayesian inference.
Dr Drovandi's research interests include:
  • Statistical inference for models with expensive or intractable likelihoods
  • Computational Bayesian statistics
  • Monte Carlo methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo and Sequential Monte Carlo
  • Optimal Bayesian experimental design
  • ​The translation of Bayesian statistics in applied disciplines
