CURRICULUM VITAE KERRIE MENGERSEN Brief Resume CURRICULUM VITAE KERRIE MENGERSEN Brief Resume Mengersen has contributed to fundamental and applied research in Bayesian statistics and related computation over the last decade. Specific methodological interests are in Bayesian statistics, mixture models, hierarchical modelling and meta­analysis. Her applied interests are in biometrics, biostatistics, environmetrics, genetic statistics and control. She is an Accredited Member of the Statistical Society of Australia (2001), an elected Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society (2004) and an elected Fellow of the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (2005). Since 1989, Mengersen has held academic appointments at Bond University (1989­1990), Central Queensland University (1990­1992), Colorado State University (1993), QUT (1994­2001) and the University of Newcastle (Professor and Head of Discipline, 2001­2004). Prior to this she was a commercial statistical consultant for Siromath Pty Ltd (1987­1989). In 2004 she was appointed as a Research Professor in Statistics at QUT and Director of the QUT Science Research Centre, which embraces all of the Faculty’s research. She took up the concurrent position of Associate Dean of Research for the period 2006­2007. Mengersen is a committed teacher, holding a full teaching load (relative to appointment) until 2004. At the University of Newcastle this comprised lecturing five courses per year on average. During her three years there, she also instituted a complete online statistics program, built enrolments in Honours from one in 2000 to six in 2004, and built PhD enrolments from two to nine. Employment from 1989 to 2000 was fractional a various times due to family commitments (three children born 1988­1995).

In the last five years Mengersen has attracted four three­year large ARC grants (one sole), five three­year ARC Linkage grants (with two Brisbane hospitals, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Natural Resources and a biotechnology company, Genetic Solutions) and numerous industry and internal research grants. She is also a Program Director for Bayesian Learning in an ARC Centre of Excellence in Complex Dynamic Systems and Control, in collaboration with the University of Newcastle. Mengersen is currently primary supervisor of six PhD students and co­ supervisor of two PhD students, with successful graduations of four PhD and four research Masters students from QUT, two Masters students from Central Queensland University, two PhD students (co­supervised) from Colorado State University and one PhD student from the University of Newcastle to date.

    CURRICULUM VITAE: DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR KERRIE MENGERSEN FAA, FASSA, QAAS School of Mathematical Sciences, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematical & Statistical Frontiers GPO Box 2434, Brisbane Australia [email protected] Background Statement Kerrie Mengersen graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours Class 1), majoring in Mathematics (Statistics) and Computing, and a PhD in Mathematical Statistics from the University of New England, New South Wales. Her PhD thesis was on the topic of ranking and selection under the supervision of Professor Eve Bofinger, one of the pioneer female university researchers in regional Australia. Following graduation, she was recruited by Richard Tweedie to Siromath Pty Ltd, a commercial statistical consulting company, with whom she worked for two years in Sydney and Perth. This position afforded her strong experience in a wide range of statistical methods in the context of diverse applied problems. Her career since then has been characterised by a dual focus of engaging with and developing new statistical methodology motivated by, and motivating, challenging statistical applications. In 1989 Dr Mengersen was invited to join the inaugural academic staff of Bond University. In 1990 she took up a position as Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer at Central Queensland University, and was part of the team involved in transforming the then Institute to a University. In 1993 Dr Mengersen accepted an invitation by Professor Richard Tweedie as a Visiting Associate Professor position at Colorado State University. It was during this time that she started active research in Bayesian statistics, in collaboration with Dr Tweedie, Professor Julian Besag and Dr Christian Robert.
