Philip Hanson
Background:
I am currently a second year PhD student working in the area of population genetics, measure-valued Markov processes and coalescent theory. My supervisors are Dr Dario Span貌, Dr Paul Jenkins and Dr Jere Koskela. I graduated with an MMath in 2017 from the University of Bath. My final year project was supervised by and concerned Brownian excursions into the interior of the unit ball in 2 dimensions.
Research Interests:
My research interests are centred around probability and its applications in population genetics. I namely look at coalescents and their small time behaviour when coming down from infinity, quantifying the speed at which they do so and their CLT fluctuations.
Publications:
"Diffusion Limits at Small Times for Coalescent Processes with Mutation and Selection" (2020), Philip A. Hanson, Dario Spano, Paul A. Jenkins and Jere Koskela, under review.
