Candidate for: At-large member
BIO
My name is Henna Bains, and I'm in the final stages of a PhD in the Department of Engineering at Durham University. In 2017, I completed an MMath degree in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Durham University. Shortly after, I started my PhD and have recently (February 2021) submitted my thesis. I am excited to take the work of my PhD forward in a follow-on project, which is due to start in the near future. I am also a member of the ISIPTA 2021 Program committee.
I work on a multidisciplinary project, collaborating with the Department of Engineering, Department of Mathematical Sciences and industry. This project develops a novel power system planning tool to support decisions on offshore transmission assets taken under severe uncertainty due to limited information. My research interests are around decision-making under severe uncertainty, imprecise continuous time Markov chains, and particularly, the application of imprecise probability techniques to practical problems.
STATEMENT
I would like to run for the position of an at-large member. I hope to bring the following to SIPTA: my dependability, my enthusiasm for the application of imprecise probability techniques, and support the increased visibility of imprecise probability. I hope my candidature will be considered for this role as I believe I can provide valuable inputs to SIPTA.
