G A (Tony) Vignaux, BSc PhD ARCS DIC, is Emeritus Professor of Operations Research, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

My career has been in Operations Research, joining the National Coal Board, UK after obtaining a PhD in Physics from Imperial College, London, and then moving to New Zealand to join the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research as an Operations Research Scientist, eventually located at Victoria University. In 1968 I moved down one floor in the same building to start a Department of Information Science. This topic combined Operations Research and Computer Science.

I am author of a number of papers and a couple of books including (with Bernard Robertson) Interpreting Evidence, Evaluating forensic scientific evidence in the Courtroom.

Areas of interests:

  • Computer Simulation (I am helping to develop an open-source simulation package SimPy, based on Python)
  • Dimensional Analysis
  • Bayesian data analysis and inference, with particular reference to the quantitative use of forensic scientific evidence.
