Max is from Perth, Australia where his main hobbies included surf ironman, baking cookies for his beach patrol team, and watching Rupaul’s Drag Race with his two cats. In 2020, Max undertook his honours project in Statistics at the University of Western Australia. His project involved the modelling of offshore wind measurements on Australia’s North-West Shelf and was underpinned by Bayesian statistics and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Max is most interested in applied statistics, and in the long run, would like to use statistics and/or machine learning to address societal or environmental challenges. Having been involved in not-for-profit organisations throughout his undergraduate degree, Max is hoping to find a research and career pathway through which he has a positive impact.
