Summary
David Randell is an applied statistician with 8+ years’ experience advising industry and academia, currently a Statistical Consultant in Shell’s Statistics and Data Science group and a former Visiting Fellow at Durham University. He specializes in extreme value analysis and Bayesian methods, with a strong publication record on non-stationary extremes, spatial return levels, and variance learning for large-scale physical systems. His work blends practical industrial problem-solving—such as locating gas emissions and smart-well flow monitoring—with methodological advances in multidimensional covariate modelling. Based in Amsterdam, he brings deep domain expertise in ocean and storm extremes alongside hands-on experience deploying statistical models in engineering settings. Less obvious: his PhD research in Bayes linear variance learning underpins many of his applied approaches to inspection planning and uncertainty quantification.
