Profile

Biography

Oludare Ariyo is a lecturer at the School of Mathematics, Statistics, and Actuarial Science at the University of Essex. He holds a PhD in Biostatistics from KU Leuven Belgium, where he worked on Bayesian model selection for longitudinal random-effects models. Before joining the University of Essex, Oludare worked as a Lecturer in Statistics at the Federal University of Agriculture in Abeokuta from 2013 to 2022. He has also worked as a Data Analyst at the Crop Utilization Units at the International Institutes of Tropical Agriculture Ibadan and as a Senior Statistician at the National Horticultural Research Institutes (NIHORT), Ibadan, Nigeria. Oludare's research interests include developing statistical methodology in health, environment, agriculture, and social research domains. He is particularly interested in Biostatistics and Data Science domains, with extensive practice in high-dimensional data analyses, modelling of longitudinal data with missing data/survival analysis, and mixed models/random-effects models/multilevel models. Currently, he is working on a Bayesian model for structured covariance that the Royal Society funds. He is open to PhD supervision. Please get in touch with him if you have an appropriate background in statistics, especially in Bayesian statistics, Biostatistics, Mixed-model and machine learning
