Mathematical Science experts

Murdoch University’s mathematical science experts are involved in various investigations that involve: random Fourier series for general commutative hypergroups, identifying outliers with weighted data, using adaptive methods of estimation and identification in multivariate estimation, robust estimation of parameters in mixtures of exponentials with possible application to ion channel modelling.

They offer expertise on computing, industrial mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, regular statistical functionals and Fréchet differentiability to describe robust methods of estimation, the development of algorithms for a number of contexts including free surface flows and tracer advection in ocean GCMs and statistical issues, such as those in the use of Doppler ultrasound for prediction of perinatal complications.

Associate Professor Graeme Hocking

Modelling blood flow and hydrogen clearance, and groundwater flow modelling

Associate Professor Graeme Hocking is an expert in modelling blood flow and hydrogen clearance in the retina to enable better interpretation of experimental data, working in collaboration with Dr Val Alder and Dr Stephen Cringle at the Lions Eye Institute, WA.

Professor Hocking also studies fluid flows such as water waves and jets, oil flow from reservoirs with an oil-water interface, and withdrawal from density stratified water storage reservoirs using numerical and integral equation techniques.

Professor Ian James

Bio-statistics particularly in the analysis of HIV/AIDS treatments

Professor Ian James is the Head of Mathematics and Statistics and Director of Biostatics at Murdoch University. He was editor of the Australian Journal of Statistics from 1991 to 1997 and has authored and co-authored more than 90 research publications.

Professor James is an expert in the application of data imputation and complex censored data problems, particularly in association with analysing the impact of treatments in HIV/AIDS.

His close collaborations with Professor Simon Mallal and colleagues at Royal Perth Hospital on HIV research culminated in the formation of the Centre for Clinical Immunology and Biomedical Statistics in 1999. The Centre will move to the new Institute for Immunology and Infection Diseases at Murdoch University in 2009.
