Dr Vinny Davies

  • Senior Lecturer (Statistics)

Biography

Dr Davies is a Senior Lecturer in Statistics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics specialising analytical methods for digital twins. He completed his Ph.D. in 2016 within the School of Mathematics and Statistics where he focused on variable selection models for selecting antigenic sites in virus evolution. He then completed several post-docteral research positions in both the schools of Statistics and Computing Science, as well as spending time as a Biostatistician at the University of Leeds. He returned to the School of Mathematics and Statistics in 2021 specialising in research and teaching on the inferface between Statistics, Machine Learning, and AI. 

Dr Davies' research is primarily focused on analytical methods for digital twins, with applications across a wide variety of areas including biodiversity, manufacturing, and metabolomics. In 2021 Dr Davies won the Royal Statistical Society's Mardia prize to run a series of workshop of analytics for environmental digital twins. He has active collaborations with NatWest Group, CENSIS, and Apollo Tyres around different applications of digital twins. In addition to his work on digital twins, Dr Davies has a strong focus on computational metabolomics and leads a collaborative projects with Zoetis on heath related quality of life in animals.

Dr Davies is part of the following committees and organisations

and has the following university roles
