Professor Wilfrid Kendall (Emeritus Professor)
Professor Wilfrid Kendall works mostly in probability theory, with particular interests in: random processes, stochastic geometry, stochastic calculus, computer algebra in statistics and probability, and perfect simulation. He has served as President of the , was founding co-director of (2007-2017), and was one of 3 organizers of the EPSRC-funded workshop , Monday 31st March to Friday 4th April 2008. He has recently been PI on three EPSRC-funded projects: , , , as well as PI for the original EPSRC grant supporting .
