Applied probability: broadly, the development and application of stochastic models;
in particular, spatial/spatio-temporal processes and point processes including
i) the generic development of models for point processes and determination of
their properties;
ii) development of models for spatial and spatio-temporal processes arising in the physical
sciences, and especially in hydrology (eg soil moisture and precipitation);
iii) models for applications in the life and medical sciences, focussing particularly on
population processes, epidemics and the transmission dynamics of infection and information
on networks.
