| Prof Darren Wilkinson | Professor of Statistics |

| Durham University |
I was educated at the University of Durham, where I did a degree in Mathematics followed by a PhD in Statistics. My PhD involved developing the theory and applications of Bayes linear methods, under the supervision of Michael Goldstein. My "PhD ancestry" can be traced back via my entry in the Mathematics Genealogy Project (I "descend" from many great mathematicians, statisticians and computing scientists from history, including Lindley, Barnard, Church, Poisson, Laplace, etc.).
After a year as a research associate at Durham, I took up my Lectureship at Newcastle University in 1996, was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2003, and then to Professor in 2007. I held a BBSRC Research Development Fellowship from 2008 to 2011. From 2014 until I left Newcastle, I was co-Director of our EPSRC CDT in Cloud Computing for Big Data. Since 2018 I have been a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. In 2022, after 25 years at Newcastle University, I moved back to Durham University to take up a Chair in Statistics.
csauthors.net gives my Erdos number as no more than 4.
