THESIS WORK
Bayesian Networks for Information Synthesis
in Complex Systems
My thesis explored statistical methods of combining information from a variety of sources with a particular focus on Bayesian Networks.
The work required me to interact with a range of airport managers and government agents including Brisbane International Airport, Australian Customs and Border Protection Service, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, and ariline operators.
