Andrew Zammit Mangion

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New South Wales, and an Honorary Associate Professor with the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics at the University of Wollongong. My research sits at the intersection of statistics, computation, and the environmental sciences, with a focus on developing and applying spatio-temporal models to understand complex environmental systems. I completed my PhD at the University of Sheffield between 2008 and 2011, where I developed variational Bayesian methods for approximate inference in spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox process models. This work contributed to early scalable inference methods for complex point process models and was successfully applied to problems in conflict modelling. Following a brief postdoctoral appointment at the University of Edinburgh, I held an academic position at the University of Bristol from 2012 to 2014, before joining the University of Wollongong in 2014. I joined the University of New South Wales in 2026. Across these roles, my work has combined methodological development, large-scale computation, and interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly in environmental and climate science.
