Summary
Edward Ionides is a Professor of Statistics at the University of Michigan with over a decade of experience developing computational inference methods for nonlinear, partially observed stochastic dynamic systems. He originated iterated filtering, a simulation-based likelihood approach that unlocked statistical analysis of complex epidemiological and ecological time series, and has applied it to diseases such as malaria, cholera, measles and HIV. His work bridges theory and practice, spawning a new class of stochastic compartmental models with noisy transition rates and extending Monte Carlo techniques to genetic and spatio-temporal data. Trained at Cambridge (Math) and UC Berkeley (Ph.D. Statistics), he continues to refine iterated filtering algorithms and translate methodological advances into tools for real-world public health and ecological problems.
