Dr Haydar Demirhan is a senior lecturer of analytics at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.

His research interests are mainly related to Bayesian inference, categorical data analysis, time series analysis, and environmental modelling. Specifically, he is interested in the specification of prior distributions for Bayesian modelling with categorical data.

His main contribution to this area is to introduce the Generalised Multivariate Log-Gamma prior and its use with different complex models.

In the area of environmental modelling, he is particularly interested in the prediction of solar radiation using statistical and artificial intelligence techniques. In this area, he highlighted the impact of the models with multicollinearity problem and introduced promising models for the prediction of horizontal solar radiation that do not suffer from various violations of assumptions including multicollinearity.

In addition to these main areas of research, he has contributions to the areas of extinction modelling, missing value imputation in time series data, cryptographic randomness, and development of research software using R.
