Dr Tilman Davies
| Tilman completed his doctorate at Massey University (Palmerston North, New Zealand), before which he studied at the University of Western Australia (Perth, Australia), and spent time working at research organisations in Melbourne and in the USA. He is currently a senior lecturer at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics here at the University of Otago. His research interests stem from kernel smoothing methods and have since expanded to encapsulate a variety of spatial and spatio-temporal problems. When not engaged in spatial activities, he enjoys good craft beer and destroying pixels via his Playstation.

| Dr Hongbin Guo
| Hongbin joins SAGO as a postdoctoral research fellow, following the award of his PhD in statistics from the University of Auckland in 2019. Working with Dr Tilman Davies, Prof Martin Hazelton and Prof Adrian Baddeley, he is currently tackling difficult tasks in disentangling deterministic and stochastic effects in spatial point processes. Hongbin is a senior in novel-reading, piano-playing, and PC-games.

| Anna Redmond
| After completing a first-class honours degree in Statistics at Otago, Anna is now studying towards her PhD. She is researching spatial patterns in muscle fibres, under the supervision of Dr Tilman Davies, Dr Matt Schofield (Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics) and Associate Professor Phil Sheard (Dept. of Physiology). Outside of university, Anna spends much of her time playing the flugelhorn in a brass band.
