Robin J. Ryder is a scholar at Imperial College London with expertise in Bayesian Statistics, Monte Carlo methods, and Linguistics. Their research explores Bayesian computational methods, including approximate Bayesian computation and particle learning, with applications in phylogenetics and language evolution. Ryder investigates linguistic phylogenies, such as the ancestry of Sino-Tibetan and Indo-European languages, and examines semantic structures in primate communication, including monkey and titi call systems. They also develop statistical models for trait data and computational tools like TraitLab for binary tree-like data analysis. Their work bridges statistical methodology with evolutionary linguistics and computational phylogenetics.
