Sophia Wright

I am a final year student on the OxWaSP Centre for Doctoral Training programme, a joint statistics programme run between the University of Warwick and the University of Oxford. I currently work under the supervision of Prof. Jim Smith.

My current research focuses on the robustness in Bayesian Networks and the uncertainty associated with eliciting expert judgements. I am interested in the interface between statistics and industrial applications, and my work is currently on the field of Food Security.
