Research Interests

​Professor Bolin‘s main research interests are in stochastic partial differential equations and their applications in statistics, with a focus on development of practical, computationally efficient tools for modelling non-stationary and non-Gaussian processes. He also works on uncertainty quantification and visualization for applications in spatial statistics and medical imaging.
