Project:

Title: Bayesian Spatio-temporal modeling of small areas: Dengue fever in Makassar Indonesia

The overall aim of my research is to develop Bayesian models that reveal spatial and spatio-temporal trends in disease for regions with a small number of areas, with a focus on understanding dengue fever in Makassar Indonesia.

About me:

I am a full-time PhD student enrolled in Statistical Science, School of Mathematical Sciences, Science and Engineering Faculty, QUT on 25 July 2016 supported by the QUT Postgraduate Research Award (QUTPRA) for international students. I am currently a permanent lecturer at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, State University of Makassar, Indonesia (2003-date); secretary at Data Analysis Unit of Mathematics Department State University of Makassar (2011-2013), consultant at data analysis unit of Mathematics Department State University of Makassar (2009-2013). I achieved recognition as a professional lecture in August 2011 in Indonesia and as an Associate Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (AFHEA), UK in August 2019. During this time, I have published 6  Statistics textbooks (Indonesian version).
