Dr Julie Vercelloni
Associate Investigator
Queensland University of Technology
Julie’s research interests focus on combining state-of-the-art technologies for wide-scale reef monitoring offered by machine learning, virtual reality and by the rise of citizen science and, Bayesian modelling to help understanding complex problems related to coral reef conservation.
Prizes, awards and special recognition
2018
A unified platform for missing values methods and workflows was awarded to Nick Tierney, Julie Vercelloni. Awarded from the The R Consortium.
Project Summary: The objective is to create a reference platform on the theme of missing data management and to federate contributors. This platform will be the occasion to list the existing packages, the available literature as well as the tutorials that allow to analyze data with missing data. New work on the subject can be easily integrated and we will create examples of analysis workflows with missing data. Anyone who would like to contribute to this exciting project can contact us.
