Homepage of Robin Ryder

I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Christian Robert in the CEREMADE at Université Paris Dauphine and the CREST at INSEE. Our research mainly focuses on the Approximate Bayesian Computation methodology.

Until recently, I was a DPhil student working under the supervision of Geoff Nicholls in the Department of Statistics of the University of Oxford. Our research there focused on Phylogenetic analyses of language diversification using lexical data, with estimation via MCMC. A beta version of the corresponding software, TraitLab, is available on request. Before studying at Oxford, I was in the Maths Department of the École normale supérieure in Paris.
