Dr Adrian Barnett

E-mail: a.barnett@uq.edu.au. My CV (updated October 2007).

I am leaving UQ to join IHBI at QUT in November 2007.

I graduated from University College London with a BSc in statistics in 1994. After that I worked for SmithKline Beecham and the Medical Research Council as a statistician before coming to Australia to do a PhD. I completed my PhD in time series in 2002, for more details on the project see http://adt.library.uq.edu.au/public/adt-QU20021203.122401/.

My main interest is in the application of statistics to health. I am particularly interested in problems involving longitudinal or spatial data. I have worked on studies of air pollution (currently working on the ACHAPS study) and cardiovascular disease (WHO MONICA project). I am interested in Bayesian methods, non-linear analysis and bootstrap methods.
