Research

Van Lieshout's research is in stochastic geometry and its applications, the branch of mathematics that concerns itself with modelling and analysing complicated geometrical structures. Important examples include point processes and random mosaics.

To indicate the range of application areas, Van Lieshout and her co-workers showed that random mosaics are useful prior models for Bayesian image segmentation, sequential point processes can be used to recognise and track moving objects, and space-time marked point processes are important tools in producing earthquake hazard maps.
