Dominic Grainger

I’m honoured to win second place in the #ISEC2022 meme contest!🎉

📖Published📖 FInCH: Fast statistical inference for continuous-time animal movement 🐾 buff.ly/tSpTjvN

New paper🎉🎉 We introduce FInCH, a new continuous-time method for inference on individual animal movement. FInCH is scale-invariant, models behavioural changes between observation times, and allows for inference in either a Bayesian or frequentist setting. 🐾

@stephril3y Congratulations!!!😁🎉

Today I successful defended my thesis! Thank you to Dr Colin Christopher and Dr Hui Guo for allowing me to yap about my research! Now I look forward to starting as a Research Associate in Causal Inference at the University of Manchester🥳

(Special thanks to @TeamPhastar for sponsoring our poster session!!)

Monday recap 4/4: finally, after our evening meal, we capped the day off with a pub quiz (hosted by yours truly). Shout out to our winners: ‘quiz is just real life, quiz this just fantasy?’!! 🎉🎉🎉

Monday recap 3/4: Then followed the poster session! Lots of brilliant posters on display (and a fair amount of refreshments on offer too)!

Monday recap 2/4: After our midday meal, Dr Nic Freeman gave an intriguing talk on mean curvature flow and the motion of hybrid zones (hybrid zones serve as thin interfaces between animal populations that are genetically distinct but still able to breed)!

Monday recap 1/4: In the morning we were treated to a fantastic talk by Professor Jennifer Visser-Rogers (@StatsJen) about her efforts to improve the understanding of statistics through the media (and debunking bad statistics)! We even got party hats and dice! 🥳🎲

#SheffRSC2023 has begun!! Early arrivals were treated to pizza at @ProovePizza yesterday, and official registration has just opened today! Exciting stuff😃

Setting up for our poster and wine reception on Monday, sponsored by @TeamPhastar! #SheffRSC2023

And finally we have Dominic Grainger discussing how to use Markov models to model changing animal behaviour 🐸🦁🦌

The RSC is a conference organised by and for probability and statistics PhD students... a fun, laid-back atmosphere, with lots of great research on display. This year it's in Sheffield! Only one week until the earlybird discount finishes- don't miss out!

The next #NCSE2023 talk is by Dominic Grainger on 'The Efficient Modelling of Animal Movement in Continuous Time'.

Congratulations to @dpdgrainger1 for best student presentation at the #NCSE2023 meeting; and Millie Jones for runner-up. Llongyfarchiadau!!!!

@sheffielduni @BioSScotland The final talk in the session continues the theme of continuous time animal movement models with Dominic Grainger discussing efficient computational algorithms. #ncse2023 @sheffielduni

Watford’s Ken Sema suffers with a stutter, but he bravely came out and did the post-match interview last night... ❤️ This will really help a lot of people. Anyone who suffers with a stammer knows how hard and deflating it can be. Brilliant @Semaken! 👏

Let the games (and procrastination) begin...

Congratulations to this years winners of best poster: @conormurphy_4 and best talks: Shauna Mooney and Dominic Granger!🎉

Congratulations to the winning team at this years pub quiz!🎉
