Professor Azizur Rahman, PhD, is an applied statistician and data scientist with expertise in developing and applying novel methodologies, models and technologies. He is the Leader of the "Statistics and Data Mining Research Group" at Charles Sturt University, Australia. He can assist in understanding multi-disciplinary research issues within various fields, including understanding the individual activities that occur within very complex scientific, behavioural, socio-economic, and ecological systems. Prof. Rahman develops "alternative methods in microsimulation modelling technologies", which are handy tools for socio-economic policy analysis and evaluation. He has more than 120 publications, including a few books. His 2020 and 2016 books have contributed significantly to the fields of "data science and policy analysis" and "small area estimation and microsimulation modelling", respectively. The Australian Federal and State Governments fund his research, and he serves on a range of editorial boards, including the International Journal of Microsimulation (IJM) and Sustaining Regions. He received several awards, including the SOCM Research Excellence Award 2018 and the CSU-RED Achievement Award 2019.
