Bachelor of Applied Science (Industrial and Applied Mathematics) (First Class Honours) (UniSA)

Ph.D. (Mathematics) (continuing...)

Research interests

  • I am currently studying for my Ph.D. in mathematics. I am looking into the volatility of wind farm output. There has been a growth in wind farms in South Australia in the last few years. When the wind farms can predict with some accuracy their output, they can compete in the electricity market. Our aim is to develop some tools to model the volatility in the output.

  • My principal supervisor is Associate Prof. John Boland and my associate supervisor is Dr. Malgorzata Korolkiewicz.

  • Volatility prediction
  • Time series modelling
  • Hidden Markov Models
