Good morning starshine, the earth says hello.

This is Joshua Chan. Welcome to my website. I am currently a lecturer (equivalent to assistant professor in North America) at the Research School of Economics, Australian National University.

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Queensland in 2010. My current research focuses on Bayesian inference, nonlinear state space models, and macroeconomic forecasting. More generally, I am interested in the methodological and computational issues of Monte Carlo methods, with emphasis on adaptive importance sampling and Markov chain Monte Carlo.
