Brendan grew up in Ireland. He moved to Scotland to study Mathematical Physics at the University of Edinburgh. Following a year abroad at the University of California, Berkeley, Brendan returned to Edinburgh for a masters. In his master’s project, he used deep learning methods to study phase transitions in statistical physics. Prior to joining StatML, he worked as a developer at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre. Whilst on the programme, he is excited to explore Bayesian statistics, time series and machine learning and their application to areas such as Astro statistics and finance. Outside of academia, Brendan enjoys playing the fiddle as well as playing rugby and football.
