Background

About Fiona Evans

I am an applied statistician with extensive & specialised mathematical and statistical knowledge and skills. I am highly experienced in sourcing, managing, analysing and modelling data from multiple sources, including remotely sensed, spatial and time-series data. I am particularly adept at developing new approaches that combine statistical and process models with machine learning to solve complex problems, predict outcomes and support business decision-making. I plan, manage and lead projects. I have led both research and development projects with team members ranging from database and web developers to postdoctoral and industry researchers. My collaborative leadership style enables innovation and creative problem-solving.
