Sujit Sahu
Sujit K. Sahu is a statistician and professor at the University of Southampton, where he holds chairs in Statistics, Mathematics and the Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Institute (S3RI). His research focuses on developing practical Bayesian methods for real-world problems.
He earned a BSc in statistics from Presidency College, University of Calcutta (1984–1989) and a Master of Statistics from the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta (1987–1989). He completed a PhD in statistics at the University of Connecticut. He worked at the University of Cambridge (1994–1996) and Cardiff University (1997–1999) before joining Southampton in 1999.
His current work includes an EPSRC-funded project with Dr. Duncan Lee of Glasgow University and the Met Office to create methods for modelling air pollution and health outcomes and to integrate these data. He is also a co-investigator on an NERC-funded grant to develop statistical models for nutrient dynamics across annual and seasonal periods.
Sahu has collaborated on methodological spatial statistics with Professor Alan Gelfand (Duke University) and Dr. David Holland (US EPA). He contributed to the EPSRC-funded project MetSim: A Hospital Simulation Support Tool (2010–2012) with Prof. Paul Harper (Cardiff), the Met Office and the Southampton University Hospital Trust, where his Bayesian model for forecasting hospital admissions is being piloted by the Met Office for use in UK hospitals.
