The University of Brighton has a growing Statistics Research Group, with a wide range of research interests from theoretical probability to applied statistics. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Statistical Image Analysis, Medical Statistics, Time Series and Bayesian Statistics.

PhD Projects
Below are some suggested projects within our research interests.
- Statistical analysis for medical image data
Statistics has played an important role in medical image data analysis. For example, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is an advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method which provides unique insights into the structure and organisation of biological tissues in the human brain. Statistical techniques have been applied into DTI analysis, including diffusion tensor estimation, diffusion tensor image processing, and diffusion gradient direction scheme design and so on. Results from statistical analysis for DTI data will improve the visualisation of anatomic connectivity in the brain, identification of abnormal white matter pattern, segmentation of diseased tissues and understanding of neural developments in the brain. These improvements will benefit clinicians in monitoring disease progression, planning neurosurgery and studying brain development.
- Evaluation of alternative time series forecasting methods
We also warmly welcome suggestions for other projects that you might be interested in. Please contact Dr. Diwei Zhou (D.Zhou@brighton.ac.uk) for more details.
