Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMathieu Fourment is a computational data scientist and group leader based in Sydney with over a decade of experience developing high-performance probabilistic models and inference tools for genomic epidemiology. He builds and publishes open-source software for large-scale simulation, Sequential Monte Carlo and variational/MCMC inference—work that has powered real-time outbreak analysis and evolutionary-rate estimation from pathogen genomes. With a PhD in bioinformatics and a track record across leading academic institutions, he blends deep statistical modeling, C/C++/Java/Stan implementation skills, and postgraduate teaching and mentorship. Notably, he translates complex phylogenetic theory into production-ready pipelines, including a C++ real-time outbreak tool and custom variational inference implementations that speed interpretation of bacterial and viral data.
