Dr Sophie Hautphenne

I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne since 2017. 

Between 2015 and 2019 I was a research fellow on an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), and during that period I was also holding a part-time position as a Scientist in the Chair of Statistics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL, until October 2018). 

I obtained a PhD in Mathematics from the Universite libre de Bruxelles in October 2009. 

My fields of research are applied probability and stochastic modelling with a particular focus on branching processes, matrix analytic methods, epidemic models, and queueing models. I am particularly interested in applications in population biology and ecology.
